DGT Clinical Strategy 2020 - 2025

Our successes: how we delivered the 2014-2019 strategy

The Trust achieved a wide range of quality improvements and service developments, and also introduced new ways of working with partners and technology that have improved the care we provide and experience for our patients and their families.
