- Ensure services are accessible, user-friendly, and provide personalised, supportive care.
- Empower our people to deliver high-quality care, recognising their contributions, whilst support their development and reward.
- Strengthen our reputation as a centre of excellence in teaching, training, and research, and deepen partnerships with local universities and other organisations.
- Secure and manage resources effectively to deliver value for money.
- Address the communication and operational challenges of a large, diverse, and technically complex organisation.
- Build on strong teamwork and shared purpose to support evolving models of healthcare delivery.
- Take a systems approach where everyone is treated with dignity and respect—prioritising equity in health outcomes.
In conclusion, our vision aims to ensure that all people have the same opportunities to access the best possible health services, and are treated with dignity and respect.
This will support the best health outcomes, irrespective of their individual circumstances, or any conditions that may otherwise affect them.
