Greater influence

Creating our new Trust has strengthened our voice within the wider health and care system. We are taking a more active role in shaping the future of community healthcare.

By bringing together a broader range of expertise, experience and services, we are better placed to influence decisions. We can share best practice and champion the needs of the patients and communities we serve. We now have greater opportunities to contribute to regional and national programmes. We ensure discussions about the future of the NHS include community healthcare.

For patients, this means their experiences will shape improvements on a wider scale.

For services, this means they can benefit more quickly from new ideas and innovations. More opportunities are emerging across the health and care system.

Increasing the profile of the Trust helps us attract talented people and specialist expertise. It strengthens our ability to develop services. We will continue improving care for our local communities.
