The Ramsay Way

People caring for people • We are caring, progressive, enjoy our work, and use a positive spirit to

succeed.

• We take pride in our achievements, and actively seek new ways of doing things better.

• We value integrity, credibility, and respect for the individual.

• We build constructive relationships, to achieve positive outcomes for all.

• We believe that success comes through recognizing, and encouraging, the value of people and teams.

• We aim to grow our business, while maintaining sustainable levels of profitability, providing a basis for stakeholder loyalty.

In 1996, Graeme Cowan helped Ramsay Healthcare research and articulate The Ramsay Way. These values are now deeply

embedded within their culture and considered essential to their success.
