OUR VALUES
Our Values During 2013 we worked with our staff and patients to develop a new framework of Values to drive our organisation. Our Values were shaped by our staff and patients, to ensure we got them right.
Our Values are not just words on a page, they represent what we are about here at SaTH. They represent the behaviours and attitudes we expect each of our staff to display when they’re at work and representing our organisation. Since they were launched, we have continued to embed them throughout the Trust, including using Values, behaviours and attitude interviewing in our recruitment process. The Values are the foundation to our Organisational Strategy.

We are an undergraduate teaching hospital through our partnership with Keele University. Last year Keele University’s Medical School finished second in the league tables for student satisfaction, with only Oxford’s medical school rated higher, and fourth in the Guardian newspaper’s university league table for medicine, with only Oxford, Cambridge and University College London finishing higher.
The majority of consultants are involved with medical education and a substantial number have sessions seconded to the medical school and hold substantive or honorary university titles. There is a Dean and Deputy based at the Trust who oversee the delivery of the undergraduate curriculum and manage the academic staff. Academic staff perform many of the central roles of the Medical School including participation in admissions, examinations, GMC inspections, formal review of health, conduct, and progress of students and membership of senior committees.
There is a programme of faculty meetings and opportunities for formal teaching training both at the Trust and at the main university campus. We are a very high recruiter to national trials and for many trials we are the highest recruiter in the region. Given the academic pedigree of consultants appointed here, research continues to be an interest within departments and we are look forward to developing further academic links to enhance our research pedigree.
We also benefit from our education partnership with Staffordshire University, with on-site facilities to support the training of our nursing, midwifery and allied health professional workforce. The Guardian’s University Guide (2013) ranked the University’s courses as 1st in England for nursing and paramedical programmes.
