Our strategy

We developed a new Trust strategy ‘Our future FHFT’ covering 2020-2025 to deliver our vision and provide the health and care services our communities need in the future. We can only achieve this ambition for our population, patients and people with investment in modern, welcoming and fit for purpose environments.

We know that healthcare and the needs of our communities are changing. The demands of the future will mean that we need to do things differently. Our aim is to be at the forefront of making that change happen, as we have always done in the past.

Our thinking is rooted in providing the best care for our patients and being the best employer for our staff. We want to make things easier and we want to be as joined up as possible, working closely across our sites and services as well as with our partners in the local health and care system. Our strategy will help to guide us in our decisions and priorities.

In the development of our strategy we met with thousands of people and received hundreds of comments to tell us what is important to them, the challenges they face and their ideas to fix them.
