Nursing & Midwifery Strategy

Proud of Nursing and Midwifery in Newcastle – A Strategy for Success 2010 – 2013

Many national drivers shape healthcare and these have inevitably influenced the development of this strategy. However the focus of the document is on the work of nurses and midwives in the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals, and the recognition of the valuable contribution that they make to the patient experience and the success of the Trust.

Nurses and midwives are ideally placed to make a difference in the patient’s journey and their care experience. The six key objectives outlined in our Nursing and Midwifery strategy will help to guide our practice for the next three years.

Please take the time to read the strategy; I hope you can see how this could be applied in your area of work.
