Restarting Path to Excellence

Our local hospitals provide great care to thousands of people. Our NHS staff are highly dedicated. We want to make sure they are always able to provide the highest quality of care. Over the last five years, we have been working to build upon these successes. We need to prepare for the future and the ever increasing demand for health and care services.

Our ambition is simple. We want to create outstanding hospital services for the future. We want everyone to get the best care possible. Our patients deserve no less. Since 2017, our staff have been developing ideas for Phase Two of the programme.

We restarted work on the programme in October 2020. Our first task was to consider the impact of the pandemic. We set this out in the draft Case for Change in February 2021.

We now need to make progress. That is why we are focussing first on our ‘working ideas’ for surgery. We want to provide the best care for everyone who needs an operation.
