Core Values Achieving the goals, directions and strategies for NSW Health requires clear and co-ordinated prioritisation of work programs, and supportive leadership that exemplifies the CORE Values of NSW Health: Collaboration – we are committed to working collaboratively with each other to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients who are at the centre of everything we do. In working collaboratively we acknowledge that every person working in the health system plays a valuable role that contributes to achieving the best possible outcomes. Openness – a commitment to openness in our communications builds confidence and greater cooperation. We are committed to encouraging our patients, and all people who work in the health system, to provide feedback that will help us provide better services. Respect – we have respect for the abilities, knowledge, skills and achievements of all people who work in the health system. We are also committed to providing health services that acknowledge and respect the feelings, wishes and rights of our patients and their carers. Empowerment – in providing quality health care services we aim to ensure our patients are able to make well informed and confident decisions about their care and treatment. We further aim to create a sense of empowerment in the workplace for people to use their knowledge, skills and experience to provide the best possible care to patients, their families and carers.
