The three aims of the National Health Service (NHS) in England are to improve people’s health, wellbeing and care.
The NHS has a duty to:
Promote good health and prevent ill health for everyone – regardless of background or circumstance
Provide high-quality care that is safe, effective, person-centered, timely and efficient
Work in partnership with patients, families and communities to improve people’s health.
To achieve these aims, the NHS works with other organisations including local authorities, charities and voluntary groups.
