To create, with King's College London, a University Teaching Hospital environment that fosters excellence in collaborative clinical practice, education, research and development, becomes a focal point for the network of health care delivery in south east London, and leads, in the longer term, to the creation of an academic centre of world renown.
To attract, develop and retain high quality staff, enabling them to reach and use their full potential.
To raise the Trust's level of performance across a comprehensive range of clinical and managerial indicators, so that the Trust is recognised as a national top quartile performer amongst teaching hospitals by April 2001, and subsequently maintains that position.
