Our Strategy 2025-2030

We are pleased to introduce our bold and ambitious strategy, which sets out a transformative vision to enhance patient care, support staff, and modernise services by 2030.

Our vision — to be compassionate, effective and modern in all that we do — underpins every element of our plans and guides how care will be delivered across our hospitals and communities.

Complementing this, we have also released a new clinical strategy, detailing our forward-looking plans for each clinical service to guide day-to-day decisions and ensure consistent, high-quality care across all settings.

The combined strategies represent our commitment to delivering outstanding care by leveraging technology, improving efficiency, and fostering partnerships within the healthcare system. Through these efforts, we aim to meet the evolving needs of the 800,000 people we serve across our hospitals and communities.

FHFT 2030 is about transforming how healthcare is delivered for our communities. It involves developing new models of care, modernising how care is delivered, improving experiences for colleagues, and consistently delivering better quality. It will enable us to strategically prioritise developments and investments, and support timely informed decisions.

FHFT 2030 is the outcome of many conversations and listening events with colleagues, patients and our local populations.
