Quality Spotlight
Involving people to manage risks.
We work with people to understand and manage risks by thinking holistically so that care meets their needs in a way that is safe and supportive and enables them to do the things that matter to them.
Monitoring and improving outcomes.
We routinely monitor people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. We ensure that outcomes are positive and consistent, and that they meet both clinical expectations and the expectations of people themselves.
Care provision, integration, and continuity.
We understand the diverse health and care needs of people and our local communities, so care is joined-up, flexible and supports choice and continuity.
