Introduction Together, putting patients first is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust s strategy for 2013-2018. It outlines our ambitions for the coming years, recognising the challenging environment the NHS as a whole faces. During this period we will ensure that patients are at the centre of all that we do and that our services support the needs of our population. Most people will recognise us through our hospital sites at Bradford Royal Infirmary, St Luke s Hospital, Westbourne Green, Westwood Park, Shipley Hospital and Eccleshill Hospital. We also provide other services in the community (doctors, nurses, midwives and physiotherapists) and at various locations, ranging from GP practices to other neighbouring hospitals in Airedale, Halifax and Huddersfield. We have a clear mission to deliver safe healthcare of the highest quality at all times for all our patients. We are committed to looking and learning from the experiences of others to ensure that our healthcare is consistently of the highest quality and responsive to the needs of our patients, families and carers. We have a large and active Foundation Trust membership base and an excellent reputation for education and research. We recognise the diversity and specific health needs of our local and regional population, and this strategy is designed to ensure we work both internally and with partners to put the needs of our patients first.

What next? Together, putting patients first sets out our strategy and vision for the next five years and has outlined some specific commitments that we seek to achieve in order to deliver the strategy. The Foundation Trust has instigated a clear programme of work identifying the commitments identified here and many more that have been signed up to by the Board of Directors. These form the framework within which our service strategies will be developed. These commitments all have a starting point and all have an end in mind. The Board of Directors will measure our progress against these commitments on a regular basis, reviewing and instigating work to deliver these requirements. This progress will be made available for patients, the public and partners to view to gauge our success as part of our commitment to transparency and openness. We will keep this strategy under review to ensure it remains fit for purpose and relevant but will always continue to make sure that two fundamental principles remain; we will seek to provide safe healthcare, of the highest quality at all times and we will work together, with partners, to put the needs of our patients first.
