A strategy to meet Britain’s healthcare needs
To deliver on this purpose, we evolved our strategy in 2022 with a clear aim to be involved in people’s healthcare, not just in hospitals, but across both pre- and post-hospital care, responding to demand. We seek to help meet Britain’s health needs by running great hospitals and developing new services.
The new strategy contains five key pillars:
people cared for in 2023
of hospital patients rated their experiences as ‘good’ or ‘very good’
of patients say they felt ‘cared for’ or ‘looked after’ when receiving care in our hospitals
