Our corporate strategy
Saving lives, investing in our people and supporting our partners.
The Trust’s new corporate strategy for 2025-2030 was approved at our public board meeting in May 2025 and was developed over 12 months through the Trust’s most significant engagement programme to date. It sets the direction for the Trust over the next five years, as designed by our people, partners and patients. We received more than 12,000 ideas, comments and votes from over 2,000 people.
The new strategy highlights the four missions for EEAST:
- Patient mission: To provide high-quality urgent and emergency care that is fair, responsive and focused on patient need.
- People mission: To provide a supportive, inclusive and empowering environment for our people. It will support individual and organisational performance.
- Partnership mission: To connect patients to the best care, at the right time, first time, every time through working with our partners.
- Productivity mission: To be an innovative, efficient and sustainable healthcare partner, to meet the needs of our communities within the resources available to us.
