Background Summary. 2.1 Aims and objectives of the programme For the last five years University Hospitals Bristol’s (UHBristol’s) Clinical Systems Strategy has had the following vision statement, borrowed from Cambridge’s eHospital programme: “Our vision ... is one in which every member of our staff will have access to the information they need, when they need it, without having to look for a piece of paper, wait to use a computer or ask the patient yet again...” We have been working step by step towards this vision and the transformation that it offers, but with the sheer scale and complexity of the task and associated investment required it has remained a long-term goal. GDE means that we can realise this vision within three years. Not just within the Trust itself but through the Connecting Care Partnership with partner organisations across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG). ‘Transforming Care’ UHBristol’s mission is to provide exceptional healthcare, research and teaching, every day. We are proud of the high standards of clinical care we provide, but we know we can and must seek to do better in everything we do. Our vision is for Bristol, and our hospitals, to be among the best and safest places in the country to receive care. We want our hospitals to be characterised by:  High quality, individual care, delivered with compassion.  A safe, friendly and modern environment.  Employing the best and helping all our staff to fulfil their potential.  Pioneering and efficient practice, putting ourselves at the leading edge of research, innovation and transformation.  Providing leadership to the networks we are part of, for the benefit of the region and people we serve. We work in challenging times. We work with patients whose health needs are becoming more complex and whose expectations about service quality are growing, and we face the challenge of the financial constraints placed upon us. Our ambition to continually improve in this increasingly challenging environment means we have to deliver change across all areas of our hospitals. We have chosen to bring this work together under a common, overarching programme – Transforming Care.

The work will repair damage caused by a February 2020 rain event, which includes, but is not limited to, installing concrete drainage xxxxxx, and sustainable armoring to the pond spillway. Before the repair work could begin, on September 16, 2020, Hurricane Xxxxx made landfall as a destructive, slow-moving, Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 105 MPH.
