Mission, vision and values



Our mission, vision and values are at the heart of North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust (NCM).

They underpin everything we do and everything we aspire to be as an organisation.

Our mission 

We will be exceptional for our patients, our communities and each other

Our vision

We will be a great organisation providing excellent healthcare and opportunities to work and learn

Our values

  • Kind: We are caring, supportive and respectful to everyone
  • Open:  We are honest, transparent and open to new ways of working
  • Fair: We listen, value our differences and are inclusive to all
  • One team: We work well together and with our communities

Behavioural framework

Our behavioural framework is built on our values of Kind, Open, Fair and One Team.

Developed with colleagues from across the organisation, it highlights the behaviours that we want to see and experience in the workplace. The framework also highlights the behaviours that are not acceptable. 

Our framework helps to support a positive working environment and create a culture where everyone feels safe, respected and valued.
