Tell us what matters to you
Each year we develop our forward plans which set out what we plan to do in the coming year – this involves balancing the interests of patients, the local community and other stakeholders.

Our Forward Plans – Tell Us What Matters to You
In planning for the coming year, we aim to engage with a wide range of stakeholders including patients and their families, staff, partner organisations and the wider public. Understanding their views helps us to develop our services so that they meet the needs of the communities that we serve.
