Our annual priorities and deliverables are approved by the Trust Board. They set out where we will focus our efforts this year to make the biggest difference for our patients and communities, building on the progress we have already made and supporting our long-term ambition to be leading in healthcare, trusted in communities.
We continue to work closely with University Hospitals of Northamptonshire (UHN), sharing the same priorities and deliverables as part of our Group approach so we can improve care, culture and financial sustainability together for the benefit of the 1.9 million people we serve.
Our three priorities
Our priorities remain unchanged this year, providing continuity and focus:
- Transform patient care
- Strengthen our culture
- Deliver our financial plan
How we will deliver this
Our deliverables set out how we will make progress against these priorities, and what patients and communities can expect to see over the year ahead.
Together, we will:
- Transform urgent and emergency care (UEC) and improve planned care access, working with partners to deliver care in the right place at the right time
- Deliver our quality priorities, including the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) and Perinatal Safety Improvement Programme
- Address staff survey feedback through our People Plan, focusing on compassionate and inclusive behaviours
- Continue our Group ‘one digital’ journey to become more data and digitally driven
- Deliver our Group Clinical Strategy and corporate plans – realising group benefits through service reconfiguration and shared care pathways
- Work with partners to provide proactive neighbourhood care across communities
- Achieve our financial plan targets, improving efficiency and productivity
- Take part in more research and commercial trials and studies to benefit patients
- Build a culture of continuous improvement to enhance patient experience
- Raise the profile of our Innovation Hub and deliver colleague-led projects
- Bring Kettering General Hospital (KGH) and Northampton General Hospital (NGH) services closer together to create safer, more seamless patient care
Our shared priorities and deliverables give us a clear focus for the year ahead as we work together to deliver safer care, better experiences for patients and colleagues, and stronger, more sustainable organisations.
