Homerton launched three new strategy priorities in April 2026, setting a direction for the next five years.
The priorities were shaped by the needs of our community - including rapidly changing patterns of demand and complexity we were seeing amongst our patients - coupled with the national direction offered by the NHS 10 year plan:
1. Integrated care
Delivered seamlessly across home, hospital, and community
Our ambition for 2031
People in City and Hackney will experience care that feels joined-up, personal and easy to navigate with the right care delivered in the right place at the right time, every time.
What this means
Effective integrated acute and community care - right care, right place, with no unnecessary delays.
2. Better value: better care
Through our people and our resources.
Our ambition for 2031
Every pound we spend and every hour our staff give will be focused on what matters most - delivering safe, high-quality care, reducing inequalities, and improving health outcomes for our communities.
What this means
Maximising value through our people and resources - supporting teams to improve how we work, every day.
3. Innovation that transforms care and improves lives
Using digital tools, data and new ways of working to improve care and experience.
Our ambition for 2031
People in City and Hackney will benefit from the very best of innovation, technology and new models of care - making care easier to access, more personalised, and more effective at improving health and lives.
What this means
Embedding innovation to improve care and outcomes - adopting proven improvements and safe, governed digital tools, including AI, where they help patients and staff.
