Our strategy
Following a period of engagement with more than 1,600 colleagues and partners, UHB’s strategy was adopted in 2024. It was then refreshed in 2026, following the publication of the Government's 10 Year Health Plan.
The strategy, which can be found in full at the bottom of the page under ‘Downloads’, sets out how we, as an organisation, will deliver our vision of ‘Building Healthier Lives’.
At the heart of our organisation’s strategy are our values, Kind, Connected and Bold. The strategy identifies the five key priorities that will help us achieve our vision, whilst living out our values in all that we do.
The five key priorities that underpin the strategy are:
-
Our Patients: ensuring every patient receives high-quality and equitable care
-
Our People: improving the experience of our colleagues by creating a culture where everyone at UHB feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued
-
Our Potential: ensuring UHB is a centre for pioneering research, innovation, education and training
-
Our Place: transforming our care to provide a neighbourhood health service that responds to the needs of the communities we serve
-
Our Performance: delivering our financial and operational plans through making the best use of our resources
