Delivering our vision

Getting to good and outstanding
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing equitable, safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. We are now striving towards becoming an outstanding group of hospitals.
Getting to good and outstanding
Our quality strategy [pdf] 7MB sets out how we will become a provider of excellent patient safety, known for consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also sets out how we will become an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together. And we outline how we will offer the best possible experience for our patients.

WeBelong
We are proud that our staff work – and many live – in one of the most culturally diverse and vibrant parts of the country. We are also conscious that east London contains some of the most deprived areas, with the biggest health challenges. It is therefore our top priority to create an inclusive organisation providing equitable services where WeBelong.

Our group priorities for 2021/2022
The challenges of managing Covid-19 brought out the best in #TeamBartsHealth; we successfully treated over 15,000 patients in the first 15 months of the pandemic. We are now committed to treating as many patients as quickly as possible while preparing for future waves.

Transforming our hospitals so that we are fit for the future
We have ambitious plans for the long-term benefit of our patients. We are redeveloping Whipps Cross Hospital and creating a life sciences centre in Whitechapel.
During the next decade we are also developing a network of specialist centres of surgical excellence so that patients get the best possible treatment.
