We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.
Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.
By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
Our Hospitals Transformation Programme (HTP) is currently underway and is the single biggest investment in local acute hospitals in a generation. This will be done in phases and will be completed by 2027 to enable the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) site to specialise in planned care and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital site (RSH) to specialise in emergency care. The main work involves the construction of a new four-storey building and the remodelling of our existing Emergency Department at RSH.
