Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. This means not only the patients we see today, but the ones who will need us tomorrow, next month and in years to come. It also means making sure that patients are well cared for across the boundaries between our organisation and other providers.
To provide outstanding care, we need to ensure that we focus on the care that we provide and the staff who care for our patients. We need to be responsible stewards of our financial resources, ensuring that we do not spend too much in one area. We need to be innovative, embracing new ideas and we need to work with our partners; we can only do so much on our own.
Each year, we create a delivery plan setting out the actions we will take to progress our strategic themes. For 2024/25, we have 11 priority areas under the five strategic themes. Below you can see the priority areas which sit under each theme:
We will enhance patient safety
We will focus on quality outcomes that matter to patients
We will enhance experiences of care
We will make sure we have the right people, with the right skills in the right place, at the right time
We will foster a supportive environment where people can be at their best
We will work with our partners as one health and care team

We are proud of our shared iCARE values which are at the heart of everything we do. They underpin our behaviours and guide our decisions and the actions we take for our staff and the communities we serve. By living by our values we can make our Trust a great place to work, whilst ensuring we provide the very best care to our patients.
