This includes the strategy moving forward as well as a review of last year’s progress. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the NHS foundation trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts. The accounts have been prepared under a direction issued by NHS Improvement (previously known as Monitor) under the National Health Service Act 2006. Approved by the Board of Directors and signed on their behalf: Glen Burley, Chief Executive Date: 23/05/18 9 Chairman’s message It has been another demanding year for our Trust. The combined challenges of limited funding, a tough winter and making the necessary improvements to ensure we remain a Trust our community is proud of should not be underestimated. Given this backdrop I believe the Trust has performed extremely well, continuing to deliver safe, effective and compassionate care whilst achieving a good financial surplus. Throughout 2017/18, there were a number of particularly noteworthy achievements for the Trust, including opening our new Cancer and Eye hospital in Stratford upon Avon, expanding our Out of Hospital services to ensure we are a leader in providing integrated services for our communities, meeting the majority of the national operational targets, continuing to work in partnership with Wye Valley NHS Trust and receiving the news that we were rated 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission. All of these exceptional achievements have been made possible thanks to the talent and goodwill of all of our staff, for which we should all be grateful. It is also in no small part due to the quality of the Executive team we have at the Trust under Chief Executive, Glen Burley’s leadership. Despite 2017 being an excellent year it is essential that we remain relentless in our endeavours to improve the way we do things to ensure we deliver better outcomes for the communities we serve. At the heart of our strategy of 'Helping you to Help yourself' are the beliefs of collaborative working, integration of services and attracting and retaining the best people we can. Only through focusing on each of these areas will we be able to cope with the challenges of a rising and ageing population, managing long term health conditions and limited funding. The Trust's Board of Directors is acutely aware of the scale of challenges we face and are working with partners across health and social care to ensure we continue to deliver first class services. I would like to place on record my thanks to all at the Trust for their hard work. Without our exceptional workforce and dedicated volunteers, we would not be the organisation we are with the capabilities to make a positive difference to those depending on us. I would like to thank my Board of Directors and Council of Governor colleagues who collectively ensure we are a well led organisation. Russell Hardy, Chairman Date: 23/05/18 10 Chief Executive’s message The past year has been a truly remarkable one for the Trust. We have seen the successful realisation of a number of key indicators within our strategic plan. All of our teams have contributed to this success and should take great pride in the achievements that this report highlights. We continually strive to be the best we can be and over the past decade the Trust has grown, in both size and complexity. As well as having teams across the whole of Warwickshire, we also now deliver services in Coventry and Solihull. The Trust continues to share knowledge and new ways of working with other organisations, inviting them to see first-hand our team’s great work. Our formal partnership with Wye Valley NHS Trust is a great opportunity to share skills and learning with Herefordshire. In order to constantly improve the services we provide, it is important that we are able to develop our sites and invest in new state of the art equipment. As you can see from our annual accounts we have been in a strong position to re-invest, and during 2017/18 the most significant example of this was opening Stratford Hospital. The new hospital has enabled us to deliver more services to local populations and ease pressure on Warwick Hospital. Its impressive design and enhanced environment have been commended by patients and other key stakeholders. The hospital is a state-of-the-art facility and these high standards would not have been possible without the support of partners and fundraisers, which we are extremely grateful for. Every day patients and relatives contact me to praise our hardworking, caring and compassionate staff. This dedication and passion has once again been highlighted in the recent publication of the 2017 national staff survey. The results demonstrate how engaged and motivated our workforce is and once more the Trust stands out as one of the best employers in the NHS, which is core to our vision and values. Although as a Trust we have been able to celebrate some fantastic achievements, it has been a tough year for the NHS nationally and a challenge to meet the key performance standards. The most significant issue for the NHS this year has been the very challenging winter period, which has placed extreme pressures on services, in particular A&E. As a result of this we have not met the A&E four hour waiting times target and achieved a position of 91.5% against the 95% target. Whilst this was one of the best overall positions in the NHS, and certainly the best in the West Midlands, our aim is to improve this next year. To enable us to deliver against this target, we are developing our ‘Out of Hospital’ services. This year we were awarded the contract to be the lead provider of these services in Warwickshire for at least the next three years. This has been a great achievement for the organisation and a realisation of one of our strategic aims. We recognise how important it is for people to be treated in the right setting and often this is not in a hospital. At the heart of our strategy, vision and values is keeping people healthy and enabling them to maintain normal lives, supported by our hard working community teams. For me the perfect end to the year was the Care Quality Commission announcing they rated us as a ‘Good’ trust. It is rare to achieve this rating in our region and it is most definitely a reflection of the dedicated and talented people we employ. I hope that you enjoy reading this report.
