Our values guide everything we do. They are:
* Patient-centred – Putting patients at the heart of everything we do, listening and responding to their needs and wishes.

* Compassion – Caring for patients and their loved ones in ways we would want for our friends and family.
* Respect – Behaving and using language that demonstrates respect and courtesy to others. Zero tolerance to bullying, inequality, prejudice and discrimination.
If you believe in them too, then you are ready to join the ULTH team.
