Together we are committed to improving health outcomes for everyone and to delivering excellent care and support.
Our mission is “Living Well, Caring Well, Working Together”.

We aspire to deliver outstanding care and treatment for people when they need it, where they need it; care that compares well with the best in the world.
We are a values-driven organisation and our goals will only be realised if our values are at the heart of everything we do. Our values are:
* We are kind and caring

As an organisation we strongly believe that it is vital our leaders exhibit the behaviours and values that we expect from all our staff.
We are a teaching Health Board with close links to the university sector, and together we are training the next generation of healthcare professionals, while working on research that will hopefully unlock the cures for today’s illnesses.
