Chapter three: developing our strategy
We are committed to ensuring our plans and priorities are co-produced by the people who use our services, by our staff, our partners and local communities. This is then informed by the population health data and clinical evidence we have access to.
Over the last two years we have worked alongside people across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to understand the things that are important to local people, and their hopes for what we might achieve as a new Trust.
In order to develop our new strategy we have specifically engaged with a wide range of people and organisations:
- 4415 survey responses
- 160 attendees at our co-design workshops
- 4500+ community conversations
- 3080 staff attended virtual events
- 2090 people reached through the ICB citizens panel
- 200+ conversations with staff and patients on inpatient wards
We know our strategy must address waiting times, improving access to services and meeting care standards – fundamental areas that people have told us they want to see change. This, along with the feedback summarised below about what mattered most to them, has helped shape our strategy.
| The public said | Our staff said | Our partners said | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How we treat people | Keep care local and provide access to peer support | Enable us to provide genuinely personalised, person-centred care | Focus on prevention and early intervention in community-based services |
| How we involve people | Involve people in planning their own care and involve carers in decision making | Improve communication throughout the Trust and involve us from the start in decisions about our services | Involve us from the start - bring us the problems, not just your solutions |
| How the system works | Integrate and improve access to primary care (community e.g. GP) and secondary care (specialist e.g. hospital) services | Trusted assessments and care plans should follow patients and service users across the system | Make sure everyone is an equal partner |
| How we work together | Improve consistency and continuity of care | Move away from short-term discharge-focussed care | Share your resources, networks and influence to support the wider system, to help everyone do better together |
All of the feedback has helped us shape and develop the strategy. This process has been overseen by a Steering Group including members with lived experience. A specific editorial group has also helped shape the content, language and presentation of the final strategy.
Our strategy editorial group said:
“As an editorial group having this opportunity helped us ensure that the voice of people in the local community remained a central part of shaping the Trust plans. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership in the design, development and improvement of healthcare services over the next five years.”
- Early Intervention - identifying and providing effective early support.
- Lived Experience - personal, direct, first-hand knowledge and understanding gained through living through an event, situation or condition.
- Person centred care - care tailored to the needs, preferences and values of an individual.
