The South Eastern Trust’s 2025 -2028 Corporate Plan sets out how we will continue to work hard to try and achieve our vision to be a great place to live, a great place to work and a great place for care and support.
Our Health and Social Care system has been under severe pressure for some time. We continue to face rising demand, as well as significant resource constraints, including workforce shortages and increasing financial pressures.
Despite these pressures, together with our incredible staff, we have maintained a relentless focus on delivering safe, effective and high quality care to the community we serve. Our previous Corporate Plans have led to a number of substantial achievements, such as the delivery of care closer to home, through the provision of Multi-disciplinary Teams in GP practices and the introduction of the Hospital at Home service. Key service developments have been successful including the delivery of the Regional Day-Procedure services at both the Lagan Valley and Downe Hospitals. There has also been major redevelopment of the Ulster Hospital site. In addition, we became the first Trust in Northern Ireland to deliver the new regional electronic care record system, encompass. We have also developed and are
committed to a number of important strategies, including Quality 4 All and our People Plan.
It is clear that to ensure we can continue to deliver sustainable services for the population we serve, difficult and complex decisions will be required, right across the system. We are committed to supporting the Health Minister’s plan to reset our Health and Social Care system, and to stabilise, reform and deliver better outcomes for our population over the next three years. We will continue to think creatively about how we deliver our services to best meet the needs of the community within the resources available to us.
