#wearenhft Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust DELIVERING OUR STRATEGY: FOR YOU, WITH YOU OUR STRATEGIC PLAN: 2018-2023 01604 682682 01604 682682 nhft.nhs.uk FOR YOU, WITH YOU
ABOUT NHFT We are dedicated to making a difference for you, with you. We deliver many of the NHS services that are provided outside of hospital and in the community, including physical, mental health and speciality services. Because we put the person at the centre of all we do, we focus on delivering care that is as easy to access as possible. Our care extends to people in the community, as well as in hospitals and clinics. This means many of our services can be provided at home, work or in schools. OUR VISION, WITH YOUR SUPPORT OUR JOURNEY SO FAR 2017 has been an exceptionally busy year for NHFT. We were off to a flying start in January when we achieved an overall good rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and outstanding for caring which we are very proud of. We could not have achieved any of this without our committed staff, governors and volunteers who are so important to us in delivering our ambitions for the people of Northamptonshire. We were also proud of several other achievements during 2017, including being identified as one of the top performing NHS provider organisations in the country by NHS Improvement in its Single Oversight Framework, and reaching the finals of several national awards including the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) People Management Awards 2017 and the Health Service Journal (HSJ) Provider Trust of the Year 2017. For NHFT to continue on the path to success, it s vital that we have a robust strategy and set of plans in place to guide us through the next four years. As the NHS turns 70, demand for health services is higher than ever we have a growing and ageing population and the expectations of the NHS are changing. We are confident that our strategy (DIGBQ) will support us to become a leading provider of outstanding, compassionate care and have developed this strategic plan to guide our journey to 2023. We work very closely with two clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Northamptonshire. It is their responsibility, along with NHS England and local government, to make decisions about what to spend NHS funding on to meet the needs of the people in the local area. CCGs commission (or buy) these services from a provider, such as NHFT. It is our role to deliver these services according to the contract issued by the CCGs and to make sure we meet the standards they set so that we get the best results for patients. Some teams have already responded to the overall Trust plan by developing their own local business plans, describing what DIGBQ means for them and their local priorities. We would like to thank our staff and stakeholders for their input into our updated DIGBQ strategy and members of the public who have given us their valuable time to provide us with feedback to shape our plans which will help us to make a difference for and with the people of Northamptonshire. Find out more about what we do in our video on our website To be a leading provider of outstanding, compassionate care. SHAPING OUR STRATEGY TOGETHER During 2017 and into 2018 we have worked with our staff and engaged with our service users, stakeholders and public to determine our focus for our 2018 2023 DIGBQ strategy. We have considered our national and local challenges and our existing strategic goals. We have agreed that our DIGBQ strategic themes are still relevant and have kept set our planned outcomes for the future with your help.
