Strategy week: Introducing the 3Ps – patients

June 13, 2022

After lots of listening, we tried to make our strategy as simple as possible. It is centred upon 3 strategic objectives, which can be remembered as the “3 Ps”: Patients, People, and Population.

Our patients objective is to be Good or Outstanding at everything we do. We will focus on the fundamentals of care, so that we get the basics of quality and safety right for every patient. This is a multi-professional focus, bringing together clinicians including doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and clinical scientists with operational leads.

Together this will ensure every patient receives safe, high quality care, that is responsive, caring, and well-led. In the next five years, we will see a change in how we deliver care as part of our new hospital programme. More patients will receive care outside the hospital setting, as well as improving the care they receive on our sites.

How you fit in

As a large, integrated Trust with many different services and roles, it is not expected that every staff member will actively address all parts of the strategy at the same time. What is important is that you can see that your role does affect at least part of the strategic direction, and to think about how you could build upon or adapt what you do to help further deliver the strategy.

For example on the patients objective this could mean delivering safe and effective care, or enabling clinicians to deliver better care by keeping the organisation running effectively e.g. helping patients with what is important to them, keeping our IT systems up and running, providing insight and information, ensuring we keep our finances in check.
