As part of our continuous drive to improve patient care and staff experience, we’re delighted to share our annual goals for 2023/24.

These goals underline our priorities for the coming year and will shape how we work on improving in six key areas, which are:

• Deliver high-quality, patient centred care
• Create a diverse and inclusive workplace, ensuring we develop our workforce and introduce new ways of working
• Restore core services and improve performance
• Make better use of resources to get financially fit
• Be a proactive contributor in our local economy
• Build an understanding of inequalities for staff and patients

Ann Hepworth, Director of Strategy and Partnerships, said: “Our new annual goals support our key objectives of improving patient flow through our hospitals and making our Trust a better place to work for all our staff.

“Everything we do throughout the organisation will link to these goals and help benefit our patients, staff, and local communities.”

You can read more details on our annual goals page, including the indicators we’ll use to measure progress, the Executive lead for each goal, and the governance forums that will monitor and scrutinise the progress we make over the next 12 months.
