Corporate Strategy – Vision, Values and Objectives
Vision
NHS Lanarkshire is committed to delivering world-leading, high quality innovative health and social care that is person-centered.
We care about the people we serve and our ambition is to be a quality-driven organisation that is focused on achieving a healthier life for all.
How we plan to achieve this is set out in ‘Achieving Excellence – a plan for person centred, innovative healthcare to help Lanarkshire flourish’. This summarises our future plans, which will play an important role in improving health and social care alongside – and integrated with – the two Strategic Commissioning Plans for Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership.
Other key influences on this work are both The National Clinical Strategy for Scotland, and the Health and Social Care Delivery Plan, both published by the Scottish Government in 2016.
