Our Strategy
The Trust Board has agreed the following Warwickshire-wide objectives, which help us guide, prioritise and focus our efforts for the year.
Our objectives consist of four Big Moves. These are underpinned by six strategic pillars and will enable us to deliver against those Big Moves.
The framework for the development of these objectives reflects the closer alignment of George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust and South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, and the need for more integrated Warwickshire-wide working.
Big Moves
We have identified five big moves we will make as an organisation to create healthier, happier lives. Delivering these big moves will be through organisational plans, and measured as part of annual objectives.
BIG MOVE : Be a very flexible employer
BIG MOVE : Supporting Domiciliary Care
BIG MOVE : Lead the NHS in carbon reduction
BIG MOVE : Embed prevention in every service
BIG MOVE : Home First supported by technology and collaboration
