title: NHS values. What are we here for?
abstract: Following more than a decade of change, the NHS is keen to explore the values driving its daily life. Consistency between values and behaviour are an important part of building an organisation's identity and confidence. It is likely that pluralistic values inform the NHS more now than was the case in the early years of the welfare state.
