want the NHS to be – open, evidence-based and inclusive, to be transparent about the decisions they make, the way they operate and the impact they have.

They encourage patient and public participation in the NHS, treat them respectfully and put their interests first. This allows us to develop the insight to help us improve outcomes and guarantee no community is left behind or disadvantaged.

They empower and support clinical leaders at every level of the NHS through clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), networks and senates, in NHS England itself and in providers, helping them to make genuinely informed decisions, spend the taxpayers’ money wisely and provide high quality services.

Engaging with their staff is equally important to us too. Their staff are what makes NHS England an excellent organisation: an exemplar in customer focus, professionalism, rigour and creativity.

Grounded by the values and principles of the NHS Constitution, they are an organisation who shares ideas and knowledge, successes and failures, and listens to each other carefully and thoughtfully.

At NHS England, they practice what they preach. By working collaboratively and building coalitions with partners everywhere means they can achieve greater things together and deliver the best patient service not only in England but in the world.
