Service Change Plan 2026 – 2027: Delivering tomorrow, With You in Mind

Strategic ambition 1 – Quality care, every day

Strategic ambition 2 – Person led care, when and where it is needed

In 2023, CNTW launched our strategy, ‘With You in Mind.’ When we were developing our strategy, it became clear from what people told us that systems and processes were often getting in the way of delivering high-quality care. Our health and care systems have become disjointed, and stretched to their limit as demand grows.

‘With You in Mind’ sets out our five strategic ambitions to deliver safe, high-quality care every day and to improve our inpatient and community services.

Our Model of Care is the framework for how we will achieve these ambitions. It focuses on providing care that breaks down traditional barriers between services and puts people at the centre of their care. It will shape how we develop our clinical services and pathways over the next 3-5 years.

Our Model of Care also aligns closely with the goals of the Government’s 10-Year Health Plan for England, the Community mental health framework.

Our Model of Care – Spring 2026

Strategic ambition 4 – Sustainable for the long term, innovating every day
