Vision, strategy and values

Our vision

Delivering great care and improving outcomes together.

Our values

Our values underpin everything we do and the experience we want people to have when using our services, working within them and working alongside them, as a partner.

Our values are:

Our purpose

Our purpose is to collaborate, to provide and to lead.

• Collaborate - we collaborate with partners to join-up services and meet the needs of the local communities we serve. 
• Provide - we provide care for people with learning disabilities, mental health, and neurodevelopmental difficulties in Sussex, in collaboration with patient carers and families. As a specialist provider we focus on delivering safe, effective care and treatment, which leads to a positive experience for patients, carers and families.
• Lead - we use our expertise and experience in learning disabilities, mental health and neurodevelopmental difficulties to provide leadership, advice, support and training to the wider health and care system. 

Our five-year ambitions

Our five-year ambitions are where we want to be and what we want to have achieved by 2030.

Our five-year ambitions are:

Deliver high quality care consistently - we work in partnership with people and organisations to provide services that are safe, effective and which result in a positive experience. Wherever people access our services, they will experience a consistent, reliable and high standard of care that meets their needs.

Be a good partner - we are trusted partners, designing and delivering services through coproduction, alongside our charity Heads On. We take decisions in partnership with patients, carers and families to ensure people feel supported, valued, and listened to.

Be an employer of choice - high quality staff come, to work here and want to stay. This is because we have a culture where people feel valued, supported and clear about their role. Our working environment embraces diversity, supports professional development and offers people the opportunity to work in effective teams.

Improve everyday - learning, improvement and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. Our services are flexible, responsive, and tailored to individual need. Data and digital technology is embedded and used routinely to support effective and productive care.

Be sustainable - we are financially and environmentally sustainable. We drive improved value for patients, carers and taxpayers through strong financial stewardship where there is a consistent focus on waste reduction and sustainability.

Our strategy

Our strategy is our plan to deliver great care and achieve improved outcomes by working together with patients, carers, staff and partner agencies.

We developed our strategy in partnership with patients, carers, staff and partner agencies. We listened to what people had to say about Sussex Partnership and what they hope the organisation will prioritise over the next five years.

The feedback we received has helped to build our values, vision, purpose, strategic measures, and our five-year ambitions.
