Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond.

It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
