Changing for the Better - Our Five Year Plan
Local citizens and local communities deserve good health and have a right to expect responsive, high quality care from the NHS. This Framework sets out how Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board will rise to this challenge and consistently meet the needs and expectations of the public. It specifies ambitious objectives and goals and defines a wide range of priority action areas.
The next few years will undoubtedly be characterised by large scale, complex change. The NHS will need to respond to unprecedented financial pressure, new medical technologies, a changing workforce and rising demand. Our plans acknowledge these drivers for change and anticipate the need to introduce new integrated models of care, to focus on prevention and health improvement and to utilise our considerable resources effectively and efficiently.
The Framework has been produced following an extensive process of engagement – with our partners, the public and our staff. As we implement our plans, this engagement will continue. At all times we want to ensure understanding of and support for our work.
We look to the future with confidence. We are building on strong foundations – there is excellence in many of our existing services, our partnerships and, above all, our staff. There is moreover a shared sense of ambition and an appetite for change. Our Framework “Changing for the Better” will harness this excellence, enthusiasm and ambition. It will enable a high quality, responsive and sustainable NHS across ABMU Health Board.
