Our strategic objectives – how do we make it happen together?
Our 10 strategic objectives focus on our people and communities, our workforce, our leadership, and how we measure our impact. Many of these objectives are connected and support each other.
Our strategic objectives
Strengthening our relationship with our communities
1. Genuinely listen to people and communities and make changes based on their feedback to improve their access to services, their experiences, and their results. We aim to work alongside people and communities and make decisions with them.
2. Improve access, experience, and results by more effectively gathering, analysing, and using equality data for people and communities to help shape the healthcare system.
3. Focus on helping groups of people who have trouble getting healthcare or who usually have worse health experiences or results. Be open and clear about what we are doing when we help these groups.
Our communities and our workforce
4. Keep moving forward in our efforts to become an anti-racist partnership, using insights from the Independent Race Review and building on existing work to better serve our diverse community and staff.
5. Continue improving support for people, communities, carers and our workforce who have disabilities, ill-health and long-term health conditions, and work to eliminate discrimination against them within health and care services.
Supporting our workforce and leadership
6. Foster a culturally sensitive and self-aware health and care workforce that deeply understands the impact of power and privilege by delivering comprehensive training, education for all, and to continue to support our staff networks.
7. Encourage a diverse workforce by actively seeking out candidates with a range of life experiences. This includes focusing on hiring more people with disabilities or long-term health conditions, neurodiversity, and those from different ethnic backgrounds. At the same time, we want to make sure that all employees who have protected characteristics receive the support they need.
Our leadership
8. To commit to ensuring that all leaders in the Partnership are role models and allies dedicated to promoting fairness, respect, and equal opportunities, actively supporting others and standing up for what is right. We will build on the successes of the Fellowship Programme and help encourage inclusive leadership throughout the Partnership.
9. We will continue to promote diversity in leadership at every level by gathering detailed information on managers, leaders and Board members across the Partnership, and make sure that programs designed to develop future leaders are effective and meet their goals.
To demonstrate the impact we make
10. Ensure processes are in place to evaluate the impact of actions at both the Partnership and individual partner levels, in order to demonstrate meaningful progress on our journey as a Partnership.
These objectives will be regularly monitored, with flexibility to evolve, adapt, and respond as needed. We will leverage existing governance structures to ensure collective accountability.
