Excellent Care Everywhere will mean that by 2030…
1. Patients can rely on timely, high-quality care with reasonable waiting times, at all of our hospitals.
2. All our hospitals are thriving, with centres of excellence run by experts giving Sussex patients access to the best care and treatment available.
3. Our staff are skilled, supported, and able to make improvements – they enjoy working here and can get things done.
4. We are a top employer, offering excellent education and training. The diversity of our workforce is one of our strengths and we develop local talent and attract the best people from across the country.
5. We lead in research and innovation. Working with our medical school and universities, we combine academic insight and clinical application to directly benefit patients, and give Sussex patients quicker access to new treatments.
6. We are known nationally for being at the forefront of environmental sustainability in healthcare – using and supporting the development of green technology and radically reducing single-use items.
7. We have easy-to-use digital systems. Artificial Intelligence and automation have been successfully integrated, helping staff improve the timeliness and quality of care, and helping patients take greater control of their conditions and treatment.
8. We have modern, high-quality buildings, and have raised funds by selling old facilities and land we no longer need.
9. We are financially strong, keep our services efficient and productive, and bring in more money to benefit our patients.
10. We play a major role in a Sussex health and care system built around integrated neighbourhood health services, working closely with our communities and local partners to reduce health inequalities, improve screening, and help everyone live healthier lives.
