Our values and behaviours shape our culture, influencing the work we do and how we do it. Our values are important to us. They guide the way we behave, individually and together, and give us a firm foundation to promote excellence in nursing and midwifery for the benefit of the public.
We've aligned these to our strategic aims.
Each value is crucial, but their real strength comes from how they work together.
Integrity
We do what is right, take responsibility for our actions, and keep our promises.
Fairness
We treat everyone consistently, explain our decisions clearly, and act without favour.
Respect
We show dignity, care and courtesy, fostering a positive, inclusive culture for everyone.
Equity
We are committed to being an anti-racist organisation where everyone can thrive, whatever their background or characteristics.
Effectiveness
We focus on outcomes, use time and resources wisely, and keep learning and improving.
We are all responsible for upholding these values in our own and our colleagues’ behaviour. Everyone we work with – whether they’re a colleague, a professional on our register, a member of the public or someone else – will see these values through the way we behave.
