Our plans and priorities

On this page you will find out more about NHFT's plans and priorities.

This includes our Annual Plan as well as our Trust strategy, DIGBQ, and what it means for teamNHFT and you.

Our Annual Plan

Each year, NHFT produces an Annual Plan setting out the Trust's focus and actions for the year ahead.

Our Annual Plan details how we will work towards our vision to be a leading provider of outstanding, compassionate care.

It also explains how we will focus on the delivery of the NHS's national priorities, as well as the local health and care priorities set out by NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board.

DIGBQ

It is NHFT’s vision ‘To be a leading provider of outstanding, compassionate care.’ It is this vision that we are always striving towards through our work every day. Our Trust strategy, DIGBQ describes what we need to achieve to reach our vision. We like to think of DIGBQ as the different rooms or levels in a house, coming together to help us reach our vision which is the roof. Our vision, and our strategy, are just two of the important points on our 54321 roadmap of NHFT. Mission Roadmap[pdf] 180KB

Our overarching DIGBQ strategy sets our focus for a number of years. Different areas of the Trust will also regularly publish enabling plans and strategies that set out the work and objectives in their areas in more detail, for example, our annual Operating Plan.

DIGBQ refresh 2022-2025

The NHS is facing some of the biggest challenges in its history and these are shaping how we continue to build a resilient and sustainable organisation. Because of this, in 2021 we began work to renew our DIGBQ strategy, taking the opportunity to reflect on and learn from our recent experiences. As we have done previously, we have engaged with NHFT colleagues, members, Governors and stakeholders to develop a refreshed DIGBQ framework for 2022-2025. We are confident that this updated strategy will enable NHFT as a Trust to achieve what we need to in order to reach our vision.
