Our vision & values
Our three year Strategic Plan
Over the last year, we've been working closely with our services and local communities to develop a new three year strategy that builds on our vision and True North Goals.

We'll be using this strategy to guide us on our journey to achieving our 2024 vision and making some significant and positive transformations to our community and mental health services.
Our vision and values
We have over 4,500 dedicated and passionate people, working in more than 120 healthcare services, providing the best care possible for people in Berkshire through our hospitals, clinics and community care.
As an organisation, we understand the need to adapt and innovate to ensure we're always providing the right care in the right way (you can find out more about our innovations on our website) but our core values are here to make sure that our large and diverse workforce are always working towards a common goal; outstanding healthcare for our local community.
In 2020 we were awarded an 'Outstanding' rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we strive to continue and improve that level of quality and safety in all our services far into the future.
Our People and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategies 2021 - 24
Every single one of you plays an outstanding role in delivering high-quality care to our patients and service users. At the heart of our People Strategy 2021- 2024, is compassion for colleagues, who at a time of unprecedented challenge, continue to strive to do their best.
Our vision is for this to be an outstanding place to work, however, we know this isn’t the case for everyone right now. Our strategy seeks to address the areas where people have poorer work experiences so that people want to work here and sets out a clear plan for how we’re going to achieve this
It’s been developed by listening to what you have to say, through listening to teams, holding workshops and looking at the data you’ve provided through the annual staff survey and other sources.
Addressing inequalities…
Hand in hand with our People strategy, our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion strategy is the golden thread that runs through everything we do. The strategy will address the differentials in experience and identify inequalities for significant numbers of our workforce.
