Our vision and structure

Our vision for delivering better health and better care is based on what patients, staff and the public have told us is important.

We have expanded our previous six promises and identified seven promises which we believe everyone wants to see from their health service:

• Safer services
• A better patient experience
• More clinically effective services
• Improved health and reduced inequalities
• More accessible services
• Better value for money

• Real influence for patients and the public

These continue to be the guiding principles by which we shape, develop and deliver NHS services in the East Midlands.

Each of our directorates works towards these principles.
