Corporate Plan

Belfast Trust is one of the largest single organisations in the whole of the UK and Ireland. We provide care for the people of Northern Ireland from cradle to grave and we are a major employer for the region.

In the coming year, we are determined to:

  • Drive down waiting times;
  • Use new technology and research to innovate and deliver new models of care;
  • Work in partnership across the public, private, and voluntary sectors to improve the population’s health and
    protect the most vulnerable;
  • Support our staff to be local, national, and international leaders in care, research, and innovation.

The Northern Ireland Executive’s Programme for Government sets out the ambition to improve the long-term health and wellbeing of the population of Northern Ireland. Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has the talent, the will and the motivation to play a key role in this and to deliver for the community we serve.

Winter Plan 2025/2026

Belfast Trust reaffirms its unwavering commitment to delivering care that is safe, high-quality, and compassionate. Although our Health and Social Care system works under pressure all year, winter presents unique challenges. This is seen across HSC but in particular within Emergency Departments (EDs), acute services, and community settings.

We aim to enhance the experience of patients and staff by providing alternative pathways of care that avoid ED attendance, reducing bottlenecks in emergency departments and acute pathways, and ensuring that patients who are medically fit can return home safely and promptly. This approach builds on the four ‘Big Discussion’ workshops led by the Department of Health, reflecting the Minister’s commitment to collaborative planning for winter pressures and future service improvement.
