Our University Hospitals Tees (UHT) strategy sets out how we will work together to achieve our vision, our values and our strategic objectives.
We have listened carefully to what our patients, carers and the wider population have told us about what they want from their healthcare services and to what our staff have told us about how they want to see our services develop. We continue to work with our communities to engage and hear about their ambitions for health and care services across our region.
We have several national priorities to deliver including moving care from hospitals into the community, adopting more advanced digital technology and preventing illness, not just treating it.
This has to be balanced alongside financial and workforce pressures and working collaboratively to ensure our patients receive the highest standards of care.
