Our strategy

Our trust has launched a new five year strategy to support the wellbeing of people of all ages across Surrey and north east Hampshire.

Our Strategy is centred on delivering high quality care across all our services: mental health, learning disability, neurodevelopmental and drug and alcohol. At the heart of our strategy is our determination to put the people who use our services at the centre of everything we do and to deliver the right support at the right time and as close to home as possible. 

To deliver on our strategy, we have set six strategic ambitions, for a better life:

  1. Providing high-quality care: delivering brilliant basics everywhere and providing support early on and as close to home as possible to help people recover and stay well.
  2. Have a valued and inclusive workforce: being a compassionate and inclusive organisation that supports employees' health and wellbeing and invests in talent and career development.
  3. Strengthen involvement with people, carers, and families: empowering the voices of people who use the trust's services, their carers and families to help us to continue to improve and develop.
  4. Making the best use of resources: making sure the trust is financially viable and aware of its impact on - and kinder to - the environment.
  5. Working in partnership: being bold and creative to lead system change with partners and reduce health inequalities across Surrey and north east Hampshire.
  6. Be a learning organisation: being a beacon for innovation helping employees to grow and learn and embed quality improvement in all we do.
