Help us integrate our values
As you will have seen, FPM has developed a set of core values (Professional, Innovative, Caring, Collaborative, Credible, Learned) and we now want to bring them to life by integrating them into the processes, operations and culture of FPM.
We would therefore like to hear from you, our FPM members, about how you think we can embed these core values.
Can we use the values to improve your professional practice?
Can we use them to improve our internal processes and procedures?
Is there anything that we’re currently doing which doesn’t uphold these values?
Let us know!
Please send your ideas to our Chief Executive Dr Marcia Philbin at m.philbin@fpm.org.uk. Suggestions will be treated in confidence.
