Living our Values

The Trust has five core values that underpin how staff and volunteers work together to care for the Trust’s service users and deliver the vision that were co-produced with our workforce. These are:

“Living our GMMH Values” is our values-based behaviour framework which sets a clear standard of expectations of the behaviour of all our GMMH people. They help us to we can shape a healthy working environment of “how we do things here at GMMH” with compassion, respect, civility and inclusivity.

The framework of linking the eight behaviours to our five Trust values is presented as a visual wheel – “Living Our GMMH Values”, with our Trust purpose “Improving Lives” at the centre, the five values in the first circle and the eight behaviours in the outer circle. This is to illustrate that all the behaviours are linked and relevant to all Trust values and that Living Our GMMH Values is integral for our Trust in achieving our strategic aspirations. We have also linked each of the eight behaviours to the most relevant elements of the NHS People Promise.
