St Andrew’s Hospital
Nursing Division Philosophy
and Objectives
The Nursing Staff at St Andrew’s Hospital
believe in:
- Delivering an excellent standard of evidenced based nursing
care which meets our patient’s physical, emotional, social and
spiritual needs in a safe and trusting environment in a cost
effective manner;
- Respecting the rights of our patients to make informed choices
in relation to their care;
- Encouraging and supporting professional development;
- Ensuring that we create a harmonious environment in which our
colleagues feel valued;
- Continually exploring methods of improving the service and
care that we provide;
- Respecting the accountability and responsibility inherent in
our roles as nurses;
- Ensuring that there is a strong respect for the dignity,
culture, values and beliefs of our colleagues, our patients,
their carers and/or support persons in the provision of nursing
care.
- Ensuring that we are influential members of the network of
health care providers in which we will positively impact on the
patient’s health outcomes. This influence will be undertaken
with full respect and appreciation of the role of each member of
the health care team.
This will be achieved by:
- Practising in accordance with the standards of practice and
laws relevant to our practice areas;
- Assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating the care that
we provide and meeting agreed goals in conjunction with our
medical and allied health colleagues, our patients, their carers
and/or support persons;

principles of best practice;

are met;
- Encouraging and supporting innovation and creativity;
- Supporting and caring for each other and ensuring that
communication is always appropriate;
- Practising in a manner that ensures sound financial and
business management.
