Dorset CCG

General information

As leaders and using our clinical understanding we will drive continuous improvements in services throughout Dorset to support people to lead healthier lives for longer.

This mission sets out our ultimate purpose. It defines what we must aim to achieve every day, through every decision and every interaction we have as an organisation. It also incorporates our vision statement.

Supporting people reflects our role in terms of commissioning services for those who fall ill and in preventing people from falling ill in the first place. It also reflects a need to support people to manage their own health and work with them to do so.

We have a duty of care for all people while they are in Dorset not just residents which is reflected in the statement.

Healthier lives is the ultimate outcome we should aim for. It reflects a need to prevent illness (through means such as education) as well as recognising a need to provide services for everyone when needed.

As a clinical commissioning group we have a responsibility as leaders within the health economy. Our unique position as clinicians also allows us to view things differently.

We already have an excellent health service in Dorset but, excellent services can still, and must, be improved to reflect a continually changing economy and society. By using our clinical understanding and different perspective we can drive continuous improvements not just in health care but across all services within Dorset.
