Strategy
Our Trust Strategy: 2025-2030
At the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, our vision is:
‘Working together to provide outstanding care for our community’
More than 2,500 staff, volunteers, patients, community members, and partner organisations came together to shape Our Trust Strategy. It is our shared commitment to delivering care and improving the health and wellbeing of our community. Together, we are partnering for impact to empower patients and citizens, support prevention in our communities and deliver more care closer to home.
With Our Trust Strategy, we are embracing the NHS’s 10-Year Health Plan to lead transformation through innovation. From artificial intelligence and data, to genomics, robotics and advanced diagnostics, we will harness the power of technology to personalise care, improve outcomes, and increase our productivity. These tools will help us in delivering
the highest quality of care for all, improving our patient and service user experience and providing safe, effective, and compassionate care.
Our Trust Strategy reflects who we are, and who we aspire to be. We are building a sustainable future together and will now work closely with our staff, volunteers, patients, community and partners to take our strategy forward over the next 5 years and beyond.
Clinical Services Strategy
Our Clinical Services Strategy commits us to delivering outstanding, flexible and inclusive care in partnership with a range of health and social care agencies.
The strategy which is the result of lengthy engagement and input from key stakeholders including staff and patients, comes at a time of huge change, learning and transformation within the NHS.
The strategy will help the Trust’s planning and investment decisions over the next decade and aims to:
- meet the evolving needs of the diverse communities we serve, many of whom have. complex physical and mental healthcare needs.
- continue developing integrated care with our local partners.
- help tackle health inequalities and access.
- focus on health prevention.
Through the strategy, the Trust commits to using digital solutions to enable patients to access care in the right place, at the right time. We also recognise the need to create a highly skilled, multidisciplinary workforce and to maximise the opportunities created by working in partnership with neighbouring health and social care organisations.
Further commitments include astute stewardship of resources, and continuous monitoring of trends to identify population health needs and opportunities early.
The Strategy will be robust and flexible enough to accommodate future challenges as and when the need arises, so we will continue to engage with key stakeholders and communities to ensure this strategy remains meaningful and relevant.
