Our values: what we believe in

We have six fundamental values that guide our behaviour and culture. Our values permeate everything we do, including our relationships with our customers, our partners and the communities in which we work.

Our dedicated values team act as champions for and enablers of Attain’s values, ensuring the business successfully supports and lives its values. They regularly meet with our people to ensure that values are evident throughout team and all the work we do, ensuring we remain focused on embedding and developing the values in everything we do.

Our values support the strong focus we have on delivering results, ensuring value for money and improving patients’ experience of health care.

Impact: The delivery of tangible results that make a real difference.

Transparency: Achieving value through a clear, cost effective strategy.

Wellbeing: Being open and honest in all that we do with our customers and staff, providing a collaborative and sustainable work-life balance.

Community: Working together with shared interests. Listening and engaging with internal and external parties.

Responsiveness: Flexibility to respond to specific and changing requirements.

Rigour: An evidenced based approach that leads to confidence and conviction in outcomes. A willingness to constructively challenge and develop solutions rather than simply highlighting problems.

“The best thing that we did for this programme was to bring in some support from people that knew what they were doing, who’ve worked with the system to deliver our aims, and the programme wouldn’t be anywhere without that.”

Dr. Liz Bishop Chief Executive of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and SRO of the Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance

“The Attain team have been amazing. They have shown high skill levels, flexibility and commitment and supported with leadership of more junior members of the team.”

Julia Bridgewater MBE Executive Director, SRO for Hive Programme,Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust

“I must say I was overjoyed to see what you had produced for the service. It clearly reflected your understanding of the context and needs. To receive a full draft, where I only needed to discuss some minor tweaks and edits was fantastic and I am most grateful.”

Dr Bethan Lloyd Consultant Clinical Psychologist HDdUHB

“I have worked with a number of consultancies (and consultants) over recent years, however I have to say that working with Attain has been without doubt the best experience.”

Rhian Mathews SRO Director of Integration, Carmarthenshire Council
