Congratulations on your new appointment at First Community

A message from Sarah Tomkins, Chief Executive Officer

Welcome to First Community Health and Care - and thank you for joining us.

Whether you are joining us on the front lines of patient care, in a support role, or as part of our vital corporate or operational teams, your contribution is essential to our mission: to work in partnership with people living and working in our community to deliver outstanding lifelong local NHS healthcare, supporting everyone to achieve their potential.

First Community is built on a foundation of First-rate care, by First-rate people at First-rate value and very strong alignment with the core values of the NHS (Respect and Dignity, Commitment to Quality of Care, Compassion, Improving Lives, Working Together for Patients and ensuring that Everyone Counts).

Every day, our colleagues make a difference in the lives of our local communities, and I am proud to lead an organisation that is driven by such purpose and passion. You will be part of that legacy - and of our future.

We are committed to supporting your development and wellbeing to realise your potential and to ensuring that your voice is heard and valued.

Thank you once again for joining us. I look forward to the impact and contribution you will make, and to the many ways in which you will help shape the future and quality of the care that we deliver in east Surrey.
