What are values?
Values are things that you believe in and are important in the way you live and work. Whether we are aware of it or not, we all we all live our lives by a set of values that shape how we think and react.
They provide us with standards that we want to meet to ensure consistency, positive attitudes and cultures.
What do values mean in healthcare mean?
Healthcare values outline key principles that guide healthcare professionals to understand right from wrong and what is important when caring for and supporting individuals.
