Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years
We Have Four Primary Goals
high-quality care for all,
being a great place to work,
partnerships for impact, and
research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
we are compassionate,
we are proud,
we are inclusive, and
we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
