Working for our organisation

Our vision and priorities
Our vision is to be an innovative organisation delivering compassionate and safe patient care through a 
well-led and motivated workforce.
Our clinical strategic direction continues to be the provision of local acute, elective and other services. 
We are committed to providing high quality, safe, reliable, personal and responsive care. Work is in 
progress to extend the current working week ensuring our patients have access to appropriate services 
seven days a week. We will continue to deliver a range of both core and more specialised acute 
services.
The Trust is working much more closely with other providers to improve and develop clinical services 
for patients. We are working in partnership to develop new ways of delivering high quality care to the 
local population and we recognise that, with our partners in the Norfolk and Waveney planning footprint, 
the Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) is crucial in improving health and social care over the 
next five years with a growing population. The vision for the STP is to provide high quality services that 
support more people to live independently at home, especially older people and those with long-term 
conditions, like heart disease, breathing problems, diabetes or dementia.
