Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust

Our Vision is to become renowned as the best integrated care organisation in the NHS. 

That is a big ambition and we already have a strong track record and reputation for placing integrated care at the heart of what we do. We are not starting from scratch. Whether it is in our work to help patients and staff make healthy lifestyle choices, or offering more locally accessible outpatient clinics in community centres and GP practices. The focus is now on this becoming the way we do things across every part of the Trust not just in some specialist areas.

We know that in Sandwell and West Birmingham, patients experience integrated care on a daily basis. Our single measures of success will be the opinion of those we care for: Our patients.

Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust

Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust is guided by five strategic objectives which combine to form the overall ‘vision’ for the organisation.

Complementing this are our ‘values’, a set of individual behaviours that we wish to project amongst our workforce in order to deliver effective care for all.

Our vision: Caring for Walsall together

We recently revised our vision to be “Caring for Walsall together” to reflect our ambition for safe integrated care, delivered in partnership with social care, mental health, public health and associated charitable and community organisations.

It is underpinned by five strategic objectives which are to:

  • Provide Safe, high-quality care; We will deliver excellent quality of care
  • Care at Home; We will host the integration of Walsall together partners, addressing health inequalities and delivering care closer to home
  • Work Closely with Partners; We will deliver sustainable best practice in secondary care, through working with partners across the Black Country and West Birmingham System
  • Value our Colleagues; We will be an inclusive organisation which lives our organisational values without exception
  • Use Resources Well; We will deliver optimum value by using our resources efficiently and responsibly

Our values: Upholding what’s important to us as a Trust

As well as revising our vision, we engaged with colleagues to agree the values and individual behaviours that we wish to project in our working environments.

Respect

“We are open, transparent and honest, and treat everyone with dignity and respect”

  • I appreciate others and treat them courteously with regard for their wishes, beliefs and rights
  • I understand my behaviour has an impact on people and strive to ensure that my contact with them is positive
  • I embrace and promote equality and fairness. I value diversity and understand and accept our differences. I am mindful of others in all that I do.

Compassion

“We value people and behave in a caring, supportive and considerate way”

  • I treat everyone with compassion. I take time to understand people’s needs, putting them at the heart of my actions
  • I actively listen so I can empathise with others and include them in decisions that affect them
  • I recognise that people are different and I take time to truly understand the needs of others
  • I am welcoming, polite and friendly to all.

Professionalism

“We are proud of what we do and are motivated to make improvements, develop and grow”

  • I take ownership and have a ‘can-do’ attitude. I take pride in what I do and strive for high standards
  • I don’t blame others. I seek feedback and learn from mistakes to make changes to help me achieve excellence in everything I do
  • I act safely and empower myself and others to provide high quality, effective patient-centred services.

Teamwork

“We understand that to achieve the best outcomes we must work in partnership with others”

  • I value all people as individuals, recognising that everyone has a part to play and can make a difference
  • I use my skills and experience effectively to bring out the best in everyone else
  • I work in partnership with people across all communities and organisations.

Our Strategy

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is V-and-V-2.jpg

Overview

Having carried out a strategic review and various consultations during 2020-21, the Board of Directors re-affirmed our vision, the vision from 5 years ago is more relevant now than ever, as bringing the right care to our patients, in the right place at the right time has never been more important – it is the core tenant of the Urgent and Emergency Care section of the current NHS Long Term Plan and a central part of why ICSs have developed.

In addition to reaffirming our Vision, the Board reviewed our values, to respect the need to tackle the climate emergency, we introduced an additional value of “Environmental sustainability”, this value has been endorsed by our staff and partners.

Having been signed off in 2020, the Board of Directors has completed its latest review by reviewing the Strategic Objectives once more to ensure they set the right ambition for WMAS to align individual strategic priorities against.  The agreed Strategic Priorities will be embedded within directorate strategies and work plans and will be monitored regularly to demonstrate achievement.
