Coronavirus (COVID-19): Advice and guidance for our patients, plus the latest visiting restrictions
Our vision: to bring tomorrow's treatments to today's patients.
September 2020
The Royal Papworth Hospital Strategy 2020-25 will guide our work through the next five years, as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and focus again on our core purpose: to bring tomorrow’s treatments to today’s patients. The strategy will help us build on our strengths, address our challenges and realise the potential of our new hospital and our exceptional staff.
Clinical excellence and innovation have helped us get where we are today and remain at the heart of everything we do. But how we do things is just as important, and our strategy is clear about improving our staff experience and building meaningful partnerships with organisations who share common goals.
Despite the challenges of the last few months, we feel full of energy and enthusiasm for the journey ahead. The global COVID-19 crisis has reinforced the importance of our work and made us more determined to tackle the heart and lung conditions that affect so many lives. We know that the expertise, commitment and compassion displayed by our staff during the pandemic will continue to make a huge difference to patients here and across the world over the next five years.
Our six strategic aims
We will build on our world-leading outcomes, investing effort and resources in developing and implementing innovative services and models of care, growing expertise and extending the frontiers of clinical practice.
How will we do this? We will:
We will seek to offer the best staff experience in the NHS, enabling staff to fulfil their potential by providing a working environment where they can feel valued for what they bring to the Trust, achieve a work life balance, and feel engaged in their work.
We will establish a Royal Papworth School, enabling us to grow and develop not only our own staff but also share our expertise and learning for the benefit of national and international networks as well as our local stakeholders.
We will continue to develop the Trust as a centre for research and development, fully nurturing our expertise and creativity in a structured way for the benefit of patients.
We will establish a sustainable operational and financial position to ensure that we are making the most of Royal Papworth and applying all our resources in the most effective and efficient manner.
