The NHS has 6 core values! The first value is "Working Together For Patients".
While all staff members must work together to meet the NHS values, there are some roles that readily meet this specific value due to the job responsibilities.
As the NHS value states, "Patients come first in everything the NHS does".
Therefore, these NHS job roles have more contact with patients and easily meet the value, "Working Together For Patients"!

Porter
Speech & Language Therapist
Over the next 5 weeks, we'll be highlighting other NHS values and the roles that readily fit these values through their responsibilities.
