Excellent Care Everywhere
“Excellent Care Everywhere” is the Trust Strategy for 2025-2030
We aim to provide Excellent Care Everywhere by addressing key challenges and leveraging strengths over the next five years
- The strategy is shaped by community feedback from over 5,000 participants in the Big Conversation.
- It focuses on five ambitions: excellent care for patients, people, communities, the future, and collaboration as One UHSussex.
- Key challenges include long waiting lists, staff satisfaction, and funding issues.
- The Trust has made significant improvements, including reducing waiting lists faster than any other trust in the country.
