The Friends of TMH Values
We are proud of our five fundamental values.
- Caring is defined as ‘displaying kindness and concern for others’ and ‘looking after others’. It’s at the heart of what we do.
- Trusted: meaning both ‘to have a firm belief in ability’ and ‘being responsible for something’. We are proud to be charged to support TMH in the best way possible.
- Integrity: We uphold strong principles to support staff, patients, and the community.
- Efficient: we strive to maximise our results without wasted expense or effort.
- Reliable: we make every effort to ensure our activities are consistent of the highest quality.
The objective of The Friends is to create a partnership between Teddington Memorial Hospital, the local NHS, local organisations, and the local community, raising money to ensure continuous funding for enhancement to the provision of equipment and services in both a reactive and proactive way.
