Alder Hey has come a long way.
10 years ago, we weren’t considered world-leading. Today, we’re named as one of the top children’s healthcare providers in the world.
But just as Alder Hey has changed, the needs of Children and Young People are changing too.
In our local area, the number of children and young people is growing, with more living in poverty and suffering poor health because of it.
We’re seeing huge growth in demand, and this is putting great pressure on us – and not just at Alder Hey, but everywhere children and young people get care and support.
We’re only going to be able to make a real difference if we seriously tackle the issue of health inequalities.
Because we want “A healthier, happier, and fairer future where every child and young person can achieve their full potential.”
We can only deliver this if we work with partners, in a healthcare system that has children and young people’s needs at its centre.
To achieve our Vision, we have set ourselves some ambitious goals
- We want to offer an unrivalled experience, guided by children, young people, and families
- We want to support our people to have rewarding careers and be healthy and happy
- We want to deliver pioneering breakthroughs, a world leader in research, innovation, and education
- We’ll collaborate for children and young people, bringing together a joined-up health and care system
- We’ll work smarter with partners to grow how much we can do and how well we can do it
- We’ll challenge ourselves with some tough targets to make sure we stay focused
We must lead the way and deliver a future where all children and young people are able to get the best quality healthcare regardless of who they are, where they live or their background, and deliver “a healthier, happier, and fairer future where every child and young person can achieve their full potential.”
