Vision, mission and values

Our vision

Our vision is for healthier lives, empowered citizens, thriving communities.

Our vision shows how we would like things to be if we are successful in delivering our strategy. It demonstrates our commitment to helping improve the health of the population, with people being in control of their own health and all of us playing our part to help our communities thrive.

Our mission

Our mission is to work in partnership to provide high quality, compassionate services and to nurture an environment where people can be their best.

Our mission represents what we are here to do, our unique contribution as two federated trusts to achieving our vision and the wider ambitions of our health and care system. It shows that our two trusts will work together and with others to achieve the best possible outcomes for Dorset communities. It highlights the importance of supporting and empowering colleagues to provide the best possible care.

Our values and behaviours

Our two trusts each have their own values, underpinned by a set of behaviours, and we will look to build on the common themes to develop shared values for the future.
