Introducing our behavioural ‘compact’

Over the past year we have been consulting with lots of different staff groups to help develop a set of common behaviours that we should all live and breathe in our everyday work. Our behavioural ‘compact’ sets the standards for all of us to follow as we start our journey together as South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust.

  • Compassionate and dignified, high quality, safe patient care always the first priority
  • Working together for the benefit of our patients and their families or carers
  • Openness and honesty in everything we do
  • Respect and encouragement for our staff
  • Continuous improvement through research and innovation
