Whilst proud of the heritage, the focus is the future and central to the vision is providing evidence-based individualised care to the people cared for within the Trust. The role of Nursing Assistant is highly valued within the Trust. There is a clear career pathway for those wishing to develop beyond that of a Senior Nursing Assistant. The Trust is supporting the introduction of the Nursing Associate role and opportunities are available to progress into these new and exciting roles or further into registered nurse training.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.
