An NCN Health spokesperson said the plan provided a clear framework to guide NCN Health’s priorities, decisions and actions within three broad strategic themes: community, workforce and organisation.
“The NCN Health 2026-2030 strategic plan has been shaped by the voices of the people who know our health service best,” the spokesperson said.
“A clear message from our community, through the planning process, was the importance of services that are equitable, easy to access and as close to home as possible.
“This plan places a strong focus on making it simpler for people to connect with the care and support they need when and where they need it.
“NCN Health’s new vision is to be a trusted leader in rural healthcare, known for exceptional care, deep community connection and a commitment to health and wellbeing.”
The spokesperson said the new strategic plan introduced innovation as an additional NCN Health value to the existing values of accountability, respect and partnership.
“Our workforce also shared valuable insights during the planning process about the opportunities and challenges of delivering care in a rural setting,” they said.
“Their insight and lived experience will help shape how we strengthen services as well as improve the way we support our workforce.
“Our strong connection to community, dedicated workforce, valued partnerships across the region, as well as sound financial practices, provide significant assets for us as we strengthen and evolve our services into our future.”
