SOUTH Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) has become the first NHS organisation to outline its social impact in a new report.
The Trust has published an Impact Report which highlights a number of strengths which it says put it at the forefront of the Government’s levelling up agenda.
The report judges the Trust against Purpose Goals – a framework designed to focus efforts on driving equality of opportunity at key life stages.
Anne Coyle, managing director of SWFT, said: “I am delighted to launch our Impact Report, which will be a key driver for reducing inequalities and implementing innovation across health and social care. I am excited to work closely with all of our staff and partners to support levelling up and embedding it within our practices. Being the first NHS organisation to launch an impact report highlights our commitment to making positive change.”
Anne Milton, chair of the Purpose Health Coalition, added: “Levelling up Britain in a post-pandemic world is urgently needed to avoid undoing years of progress towards making Britain a fairer place where opportunities are accessible to all.
“NHS organisations, and their extensive networks of facilities, teams, suppliers, staff and partners, are huge contributors to the levelling up agenda. Trusts like South Warwickshire are showing the impact that a Trust can have when it is committed to acting as an anchor institution.
“SWFT and its leadership team has shown a commitment to resolving inequalities with a focus on population health management. This report shows some amazing examples of levelling up in practice and, importantly, the Trust is determined to go even further.”
