Strategic Framework

Building on the previous Trust Strategy 2020-2025, achievement of our vision - to be an exemplar in healthcare delivery that is compassionate and enabled by the highest levels of research and innovation - remains centred on our OUH values and is underpinned by four strategic pillars, and aligns to our Clinical Strategy.

Our Strategic Objectives

Our four strategic pillars are the building blocks of all that we can achieve together - these are People, Patient care, Performance and Partnerships.

Our Strategic Objectives are:

To make OUH a great place to work that promotes equality, diversity and inclusion, encourages talent development, and enables the freedom to speak up without fear of futility or detriment
To create a culture of continuous improvement in all that we do and to deliver the highest quality, safe care, underpinned by research and innovation
To consistently achieve all operational performance standards and financial sustainability
To make effective use of our digital capability to enhance patient care and staff efficiency, and productivity
To have an estate that meets the highest levels of regulatory compliance and enhances our offer for patient care and staff wellbeing by adopting novel ideas and methods that embrace the sustainability goals
To work in partnership at Place and System level for the benefit of our patients and populations with effective collaboration to reduce health inequalities and fulfil our role as an anchor institution

Shaping our Future

Trust Strategy 2026-2031

Help us shape your hospital services for the future!

We are calling on all our patients, carers and families, our local communities and partners - we need your ideas on how we should develop and run our services for the next five years!

We're developing our new Trust Strategy, building on our current Strategy - to be an exemplar in healthcare delivery that is compassionate and enabled by the highest levels of research and innovation - and have created a survey for you to fill in and let us know your views.

The UK Government's 10 Year Health Plan for England, 'Fit for the Future', focuses on the transition of healthcare from hospital to community, from analogue to digital and from sickness to prevention.

These three aims will underpin our plans for the next half decade, and your input will be fundamental in shaping our Trust Strategy 2026-2031.

Please give us a few minutes of your time to complete the survey at the link below - and thank you!
