About us
As an organisation we strive to provide high quality, safe care for our patients in an environment which our staff are proud to work in. We believe that by adhering to our Vision ("To provide excellent care for the communities we serve") and working with our Trust Values in mind (Partnering, Ambitious, Caring, Trusted) we can achieve the right results for the people that matter most - our patients and their families.
The Cardiorespiratory Department is a large team split across two main sites with a third smaller diagnostic hub on Stafford Hub. Despite this we work as a strong, cohesive, supportive team. The Cardiac Device team is based at PRH but you will support inpatient requests across the trust and sometimes a domiciliary setting. Outside of the device team, the Echo, admin and respiratory specialties within Cardiorespiratory work closely together, some staff are cross speciality which only enhances our service and creates a friendly, positive atmosphere.
