Our Priorities for Delivery 2026/27

Our Priorities for Delivery 2026/27 set out the main goals NHS Grampian will aim for over the year, building confidence among patients and staff by clearly explaining what we are working towards and how we plan to deliver the best possible care for the people of Grampian.

These Priorities have been shaped by honest conversations with patients, staff, partners, volunteers and communities across Grampian. They reflect what matters most to people, such as reducing waiting times.

What the Priorities cover

We will make progress this year across five key areas:

People, Leadership and Governance

Improving staff experience, strengthening leadership, and creating clearer, more inclusive decision‑making across the organisation.

Prevention

Reducing health inequalities and focusing on early intervention so we can support healthier communities and reduce future demand on services.

Planned Care

Further reducing waiting times for operations, appointments, tests and scans, and improving the coordination of care.

Urgent and Unscheduled Care

Improving access to urgent and emergency services, supporting alternatives to hospital care, and ensuring people are treated in the right place at the right time.

Value and Sustainability

Getting our finances back on track and making best use of our resources so we can deliver high‑quality care in a sustainable way.

Working together with our communities

We will be open, transparent and collaborative in how we deliver these priorities. This year, we will continue to involve communities, staff and partners in shaping improvements, and we will share regular updates on our progress.

Your feedback, experiences and ideas will continue to inform our work and ensure the actions we take are meaningful and rooted in real needs.
