Our Strategic Objectives

Our four strategic pillars are the building blocks of all that we can achieve together - these are People, Patient care, Performance and Partnerships.

Our Strategic Objectives are:

  • To make OUH a great place to work that promotes equality, diversity and inclusion, encourages talent development, and enables the freedom to speak up without fear of futility or detriment
  • To create a culture of continuous improvement in all that we do and to deliver the highest quality, safe care, underpinned by research and innovation
  • To consistently achieve all operational performance standards and financial sustainability
  • To make effective use of our digital capability to enhance patient care and staff efficiency, and productivity
  • To have an estate that meets the highest levels of regulatory compliance and enhances our offer for patient care and staff wellbeing by adopting novel ideas and methods that embrace the sustainability goals
  • To work in partnership at Place and System level for the benefit of our patients and populations with effective collaboration to reduce health inequalities and fulfil our role as an anchor institution
