Our Strategy
Our Patients, Our People, Our Place and Our Partners explains how we will work towards our vision to be an “outstanding provider of healthcare, research and education and a great place to work”.
We are proud to be part of the Bradford District & Craven Health and Care Partnership, with a shared ambition to act as one to keep people happy, healthy at home.
We have developed this strategy with our patients, our people, the public and our partner organisations. It explains how our ambitions are not simply a list of things we want to do. They are coherent and mutually reinforcing and will ensure that we meet our strategic objectives.

What we will focus on:
- Delivering outstanding nursing and midwifery care
- Providing outstanding patient experience
- Delivering high quality services
- Delivering a Virtual Hospital as part of a clinically-led transformation
- Using digital technology, data and insight to transform how we deliver care
- Restarting and recovering planned care after COVID-19
