Ethos and values

North Devon Hospice's ethos and values

Ethos and values

Our core values remain central to all that we are. Last year, in a series of ‘North Devon Way’ workshops, led by our Chief Executive, staff and volunteers worked collaboratively to identify our ethos.

We believe in:

• the expertise of our professional staff
• the caring support that is provided
• the sense of safety that closeness to the hospice brings
• being there for all the family
• recognising and treating each person as an individual

North Devon Hospice Ethos and Values

To do this, we also need to ensure we:

• Build partnerships to enhance our capability
• Enhance community based care to improve patient and carer access
• Have relevant information to make decisions
• Develop our people
• Create awareness of our capability to attract voluntary funding for sustainable development
