Always improving

Our vision of ‘World Class People, delivering World Class Care’ is underpinned by our constant commitment to making ourselves even prouder tomorrow than we are today of the outstanding patient care, inclusive culture, spirit of teamwork and collaboration (both within and outside our organisation) and the way in which we innovate and inspire creativity.

All of which are part of the DNA of UHS. That commitment is embodied in our determination to always improve which directs how we do things at UHS. We call it THE UHS WAY. The thread that brings everything together and provides a unifying measure of our progress towards achieving our corporate vision.

Our Always Improving strategy describes how we will foster a supportive environment for our people to drive change The UHS Way:

STARTING A MOVEMENT

We will create a clear brand and communications plan that our people, partners and patients see as a rallying point to build belief and momentum behind this strategy and for each individual to see the role they will each play in its success.

EQUIPPING WITH SKILLS

Our staff will have access to a wide range of training opportunities and practical experiences at different levels to give them the skills they need to think differently and make our strategy a reality.

CAPACITY AS A CATALYST

We have already made significant investment into an ‘Always Improving Academy’ of change and transformation expertise. They will bring the technical skills and experience as well as champion the UHS way ethos to catalyse the changes that our people are driving.

A GOLDEN THREAD

We will integrate all of our efforts to drive the delivery of our strategy under into a single transformation agenda for the organisation that creates a golden thread from ward to board and across each of our services underpinned by a governance structure that focuses on strategic delivery.
