Our Exciting Future
In 2020, we launched our five-year Integrated Improvement Plan – our strategic plan to help us move forward as a Trust and ensure we were focusing on the right things for our patients and our staff.
It outlines how, by 2025, we will achieve ‘outstanding care personally delivered’ by improving the quality of care and experience for our patients and the wellbeing of our staff.
The ambitions in each of our strategic objectives, under the headings of our patients, our people, our services and our partners, are underpinned by a number of priorities, which will help us to monitor our progress.
In 2022/23, we refreshed our Integrated Improvement Plan to reflect our changed environment and challenges. This includes recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, improvements identified by the Care Quality Commission and the Trust’s significantly improved position to exit he national Recovery Support Programme (formerly ‘Special Measures’).
We have also identified three key focus areas for the current financial year to:
- continue improvements in patient safety and experience
- reduce long waiting times for treatment
- make our people feel valued and supported by improving our culture and leadership.
You can read our Integrated Improvement Plan in more detail on our Trust website.
