We have been on an incredible journey over the last few years and have achieved so much together in delivering outstanding healthcare.
As a Trust we have greatly benefitted from our partnership with the Virginia Mason and have strong foundations in place from which to build.
Better never stops and through our new Organisational Strategy we will be mapping out how we deliver outstanding care, every time for our patients, staff, and the communities we serve.
It is vital that everyone at UHCW is able to have their say and help shape our aims and aspirations for the next eight years.
The draft summary document of the organisational strategy for 2022-30 can be found below:
UHCW Organisational Strategy

Additional information is also available in our special video outlining why we are so much more than a hospital:
