Our services are high performing and sustainable

We will have clear plans to ensure our services can deliver high quality care and best value for money.

What does that mean?

We will redesign the way we provide diagnoses, treatment and care to make sure they are fit for the future. Our three local sites will serve their communities, helping us to meet their existing and future healthcare needs.

We will use our resources wisely to make sure every patient gets the right care from the right team in the right place at the right time. We will continue the changes we discussed with the public through the Your Care in the Best Place consultation.

We will review and make more recommendations to improve our services, which will lead to excellent clinical outcomes for people in our local communities.

Why is this important?

Over the next ten years there will be a growing demand for elderly care services. As people live longer, more people in our communities will be living with multiple long-term conditions. We will need to change how we provide our services, and strengthen and expand our specialist burns and plastics, cardio-thoracic and cancer care centres.

We need to get the basics right and carry on improving our clinical, financial and operation performance, building on the work we have already started. That also means delivering on the commitments we made when we merged, including plans for reconfiguring our services.

We’ll develop our services to meet future demand by working with our staff, patients, stakeholders and partners to design a seamless, integrated, collaborative hospital model that meets our patients’ needs.

We’ll

• meet clinical and operational key performance indicators
• achieve financial sustainability
• measurably reduce vacancies and improve staff satisfaction
• see lower unplanned admission rates.
