Details

For the best user experience we encourage you to download or save the toolkit to an internal server or hard drive.

This toolkit is designed to support you with your strategy development process. It will give you ideas for each stage of the work: both on what to do and on how to do it.

It is intended to help NHS providers develop a strong strategy for your trust, but it isn鈥檛 prescriptive.

Monitor鈥檚 Strategy development toolkit contains:

  • guidance on each stage of developing a strategy
  • illustrations of possible analyses
  • case studies of strategic changes that some NHS providers have already implemented

How NHS providers are using the toolkit

The toolkit has been developed with 5 NHS foundation trust 鈥榯est sites鈥�. In this short video the 5 trusts share their reflections on strategy development and the toolkit.

Developing strategy: what every trust board member should know

Alongside the toolkit, Monitor has published guidance which explains the role of NHS foundation trust board members in developing sound strategies.
