Our strategic objectives and workplan

The Shelford Group is led by the ten member chief executives and the managing director, who set the strategic direction and policy priorities for the Group. Our work is co-ordinated by a central secretariat, and delivered through sub-groups of executive directors and professional leads from member trusts. We have three strategic objectives:

 

  • Lead improvement in NHS services through the 10 Year Health Plan and Workforce Plan.
  • Strengthen research and innovation that supports improvement and contributes to economic growth.
  • Achieve sustainable success as NHS provider organisations including clinical, financial, environmental and workforce factors.

In 2025/26 we will be delivering our purposes across four key areas in our workplan – see below.
