Successful organisations have a shared purpose

They know where they’re going and they know how they’re going to get there. In other words they have a strategy and plans. Staff from right across North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, our governors, our partners and our patients have helped to shape our shared purpose in this strategy.

You can find all of these things in the documents we write; the annual plan, the annual report and of course our main strategy document. However we wanted to put all this together in a way which makes it clear and easy to understand.

The triangle in this leaflet is our strategy with patients where they should be, at the top. It’s supported by our vision, our mission and our People First values which underpin everything we do. Our six aims are the things we need to achieve to continue our success. Any good structure has good foundations and these are providing the solid base for our work in the trust.

We all have a part to play in making sure we achieve what we have set out in the strategy.

Everything you do helps to provide the excellent patient care we are becoming renowned for.
