An image which displays the trust values, We are Bridgewater People and we are Person Centred, Empowered, Open & Honest, Professional, Local and Efficient.

At Bridgewater, our PEOPLE values shape how we deliver our NHS services in your local community.

They help us deliver our mission to improve local health and promote wellbeing in the communities we serve.

After all, values are about people and they were created in partnership with our staff to reflect what they felt was important to them.


Our PEOPLE values

We have a clear set of six values – which we know as our People values.

They are:

  • Person centred
  • Empowered
  • Open and honest
  • Professional
  • Locally led
  • and Efficient

The first letters of each value spell out PEOPLE.

After all, values are all about people and they were created in partnership with staff to reflect what they felt was important to them.


Our Mission

We will improve health, health equity, wellbeing and prosperity across local communities by providing person centred care in collaboration with our partners.


Our ‘Just & Learning Culture’ Journey
