• Support with the failing learner

Watch our new Vision and Values in action – Together Care Matters

Following the recent launch of our new Vision, Values and Behaviours at MFT, we have developed a short film to help embed these across the organisation:

Everyone Matters           Working Together
Dignity and Care            Open and Honest  

These Values are the principles which guide the way we work every day, to ensure our services are the very best they can be for our patients and for our workforce. Thank you to all the staff and patients who kindly agreed to take part in the film and we do hope you enjoy watching.
