Our vision is in line with the national vision
• Highly responsive, effective and personalised services
outside of hospital for people with urgent but non-life
threatening needs.
• People with more serious or life threatening emergency
needs treated in centres with the very best expertise
and facilities in order to reduce risk and maximise their
chances of survival and a good recovery.
• Planned care in an environment separate from
emergency care which avoids unnecessary delays and
cancellations.

Vision:
“Meeting patient needs now
and future proofing for the coming generation

Your views – workshop discussion

Your views
• We want to seek your views to help us in developing the
way ahead.
• We can then use your feedback to help us develop the
decision making criteria and the scenarios for how care
could be provided in the future.
• There are two areas in particular where we would like
you to share your thoughts…
Durham, Darlington and Tees
Principles for the future
1. Care delivered through a network of hospitals and community
services
2. More seamless care close to or in the patient’s home where
safe and effective, access to urgent and community care 24/7
3. Patients only admitted to hospital where it is no longer safe or
effective for them to be cared for in the community
4. Access to specialist opinion 24/7 where this improves outcome,
e.g. heart attack, stroke, trauma, or internal bleeding
5. Planned care organised so there is no unnecessary waiting, no
cancellations and patients not exposed to risk of infections
