Background:
Ambition:
•
Nursing is the most trusted profession in our society. Nurses are the backbone of the NHS and any
health care system around the world and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) globally
we need nearly six million more nurses
•
As Chief Nurse, my ambition for Oxford Health is to attract and retain high calibre registered nurses
who can deliver safe, high quality, effective and compassionate care to our patients and families whilst
feeling empowered and valued to do their job in every area of the Trust. We must develop and
enhance their knowledge and skills as well as ensure their working environment is flexible; supportive
and gives them opportunities for growth
•
We are lucky enough within the Trust to employ many nurses from the global majority and this brings
both diversity of thought and approach and we must ensure every single nurse achieves their full
potential.
‘The Combating racial discrimination against minority ethnic nurses, midwives and nursing
associates’
report published by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and NHSE CNO in 2022
states ‘“we know [racism] exists and the impact on our colleagues can be devasting” (2). Ensuring we
create a fair, safe environment for every nurse to work and achieve in – this strategy seeks to address
this.
Mission statement
For the Nursing workforce to deliver safe, effective
high-quality care and treatment in partnership with
our patients and families. To ensure that kindness
and compassion is always at the heart of nursing
practice.
