Looking after our community and providing excellent care

NHS Orkney Clinical Strategy 2022 - 2027

September 2022

The NHS Orkney Clinical Strategy has now been finalised. This document sets out our aims regarding how our clinical teams and services will develop and grow in order to meet the needs of the people of Orkney over the next five years.

The strategy takes on board all the feedback which was submitted as part of the community survey which took place in October 2021. The strategy outlines the approach we will take to shape our services which will be driven by evidence, best practice, safety, and transparency. To achieve the aims, we will ensure that we support and develop our workforce, harness the power of technology and innovation, and undertake continuous quality improvement.

Dr Mark Henry, NHS Orkney Medical Director said: “This is a document for the people of Orkney, contributed to by the people of Orkney. This isn’t a strategy filled with technical medical jargon but instead something we can all pick up, read, and understand without needing to be experts in health and social care. We have some ambitious aims in this document but with our dedicated teams and supportive community, we will ensure we make a real difference to the health of our local population throughout their whole lives.”

We want everyone in Orkney to be able to read the strategy and understand its contents.
