Planning our strategy...
In 2017 we commissioned independent research
through Liverpool University specifically aimed at
informing our new strategy for the next five years
following our twenty-fifth anniversary. This research
was completed in 2018.
The research was titled; “End of Life Care in the
New Forest and Waterside Areas: Scoping the
Current Landscape - What is happening and
why?” There were two clear objectives to this work;
firstly to understand “what” was currently happening in
our catchment area and then, secondly, to determine
“why” these trends are happening.
The findings have been very interesting and will be
elaborated on further within this strategy.
Oakhaven Hospice is a very diverse organisation which
is part of the strength of the hospice. Good quality
hospice care takes a “whole person” approach to care
and that ethos runs throughout the whole organisation.
All staff both clinical and non-clinical work for the
benefit of our patients and their families.
Oakhaven's strategy will be all-encompassing
recognising that all staff work for the benefit of our
patients. It therefore includes the full diversity of the
organisation from fundraising, to volunteering and
staffing, to service delivery - recognising that none is
possible without the other.
We have identified three strategic goals:
· Building capacity – to work with others to try
to ensure hospice care is available for all who
need it in all settings.
· Communication – to communicate as clearly
as possible to all those who wish to listen in
whatever setting by whatever means and to
sensitively promote our work to those less
aware and less willing to listen.
· Fit for the Future – to make sure the hospice
is best placed to deliver on its commitment
to the community.
