Our people

In November 2021, we announced the publication of the UHS five year strategic plan, which introduced the five strategic themes which together make up The UHS Way. Each of the themes is supported by ambitions, which set out our priorities in more detail and define what we want to achieve by 2025, all underpinned by a systematic approach to improvement.

Our strategy was updated in 2026, to base our work around four key themes including outstanding people - supporting and nurturing our people through a culture that values diversity and builds knowledge and skills to provide rewarding career paths within empowered, compassionate and motivated teams.
