Trustees Report

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND IMPACT

Our 5 year strategy sets out our vision, mission, values, strategic priorities and critical enablers and is a living document that guides everything our Trustees, Council, Committees, supporters, and staff do for the intensive care community and our wider beneficiaries. It was developed in 2018 and runs for the period 2019-2023. It gives us a framework to work towards and acts as a moral compass to remind us why we do what we do, how we should do it and the difference we make to the public and the charity sector as a result of our activities. Our 5 year strategy (2019-2023) includes a clear action plan with targets to be achieved by 2019, 2021 and 2023 and with success measures to be achieved by 2023. During 2021 we initiated a project to refresh the strategy, however this had to be paused due to COVID-19 work pressures. We restarted the Strategy Refresh Project in April 2022. Each year the Trustee Board approves a costed operational implementation plan which maps against our strategy and the action plan set out in it for each year. The operational implementation plan is delivered via a Divisional structure with an elected Council member as chair of each division collaborating with a named senior manager.

The strategy and annual operational implementation plan set out the Society’s work under four Strategic Priorities (SP) supported by two critical enablers: multi professional membership and an infrastructure built on clear governance and financial sustainability.
