Clinical Strategy 2022 - 2027

We have launched our new five-year clinical strategy which outlines our key areas of focus for the Trust to deliver the high-quality services and best possible patient experience that our population need and deserve.

This strategy is supported by three fundamental principles:

  • There will always be a District General Hospital in King’s Lynn delivering core services to our population
  • Accident and Emergency services will always remain onsite and locally available to our population
  • Maternity services will always remain onsite and locally available to our population

We have agreed six clinical priorities to act as a compass to ensure that everything that we do is focussed on addressing these biggest challenges:

  • Provide safe alternatives to emergency admissions and focus admissions on patients who need them most
  • Improve quality of inpatient care including End of Life care by modernising in line with 7-day services, NHSE/I advice, using technology and focusing on what our population really needs
  • Optimise length of stay for all patients (elective and emergency)
  • Improve maternity care in line with national recommendations
  • Transforms outpatient services using technology to become a more responsive, patient focused service
  • Improve access and reduce inequalities of access for patients on waiting lists, improve cancer outcomes and address the pandemic related backlog including development of an elective hub

The launch of our clinical strategy underpins the delivery of the vital work taking place to support our ambition to become the best rural District General Hospital for patient and staff experience.
