Trust Success in Sustainability Awards

Our Strategic Objectives
Our new objectives set our ambitions for the life of our strategy; helping
us to meet the challenges for the NHS over the next five years; providing
safe, effective care that improves outcomes, delivered by a well engaged,
diverse and skilled workforce, in an efficient, timely and accessible way.
We will explore our objectives in more detail over the coming months.
Our Service Model
As a large, integrated healthcare provider, we offer a range of services at
different levels of specialism and intensity, across a range of settings, which
include people’s own homes, community clinics and specialist hospitals.
By focusing on person centred, co-ordinated care, our service model
ensures that people receive these services in a more integrated and coordinated
way, shifting the emphasis from hospital and inpatient care, to
supporting people to live independently in their own homes.
We can achieve this through:
• Greater use of technology, providing information and knowledge to
support lifestyle changes; helping people to understand the impact of
their lifestyle on their health condition.
• Improving the sharing of information and engagement of people within
care planning, working with others to improve outcomes.
• Simplifying and speeding up access to our services. We have set out an
ambitious plan to develop a truly single point of access across our Trust, to
help people receive personalised support for physical and mental health
needs, with care organised by a single, named co-ordinator.
• Working with
commissioners
to continue
developing our
community based
services, reduce
unnecessary
admissions
and to develop
services that
work for our
patients and
service users.

What will this
strategy achieve?
We are determined that we will achieve
our ambitions, resulting in:
3 Joined up care, designed around
individual needs
3 Simplified access to support and advice
3 Support for people to take more
control of their own health
3 Easier access to crisis, urgent and
specialist services, reducing unnecessary
hospital admissions and shortening
lengths of stay if appropriate
3 Timely support for those needing
inpatient or acute care
3 Meaningful outcome measures
3 A more flexible workforce
3 Improved use of technology to deliver
care closer to home
This is a challenging strategy that we will
review every year, but we are clear that
these remain the right ambitions for our
Trust, our service users, patients, carers,
volunteers, staff and our partners, to
improve lives and the quality of care.

Division that includes the physical

provide. The majority of these are
delivered in patients’ own homes,
but also in community settings, care
homes and hospitals. They include
for example the management of long
term conditions, health visiting, school
nursing, foot care, physiotherapy and
hospice care.
Local Services is the Division that
