Welcome
Health and care are changing and we need to change too.
There are lots of reasons why we need to change and they include:
• More people need care now.
• People are living longer.
• Many people have long-term health problems.
• Not everyone has the same chance to be healthy.
• Some groups of people, like people with a learning disability, have worse health. This is not fair.
• Staff are working very hard.
• Hospitals are now older and need to be better.
The ways we work cannot stay the same.
We must act now.
What is RISE?
RISE is our plan for the future.
It shows what we will do.
It is honest about where we are.
We believe we can do better.
RISE puts people first.
Patients are at the centre.
Staff are important too.
We want healthcare services and buildings to be excellent.
We want healthcare that people can rely on when they need it.
We want healthcare to be fair so everyone can get help when they need it.
What will we do?
We will work with all the other health and care professionals involved in your care.
We will support different groups of people in different areas we work in.
We will help people earlier to prevent illness when we can.
We will join services together.
Teams will work together.
We will listen to patients.
We will listen to staff.
We will use what they tell us to improve.
We will keep any promises we make.
Our plan is split in 3 parts called: 1. Rising Hope 2. Rising Communities
3. Rising Standards
