Our Strategy
Measured ambition: our three-year strategy for 2024 to 2026
This strategy has been developed in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders all of whose support and guidance is valued by the Board of Governors and Senior Leadership Team. It intentionally sets out to strike a very careful balance between measured service developments, financial sustainability, and a recognition of the changing demographics in the Isle of Man.
We live with an ageing population whilst people are living longer with multiple morbidities – demanding complex care for often longer periods. In brief, demand for hospice care is rising, and funds are increasingly hard to secure.
Quite rightly, the overarching premise is that we must first and foremost set out our strategic service ambitions for patients and their families, which in turn affects our workforce plan, and then informs the level of sustainable statutory and voluntary income needed to fund it all.
We have purposely chosen the term ‘ambition’ to reflect the fact that service growth will be carefully planned and launched only as funds are secured, reflecting our long-term commitment to those who have terminal conditions.
