The NORTH Foundation, our philanthropic and fundraising partner, provides valuable support for our hospitals and services as well as providing grants for innovative health research to inform the delivery of exceptional patient care and improve community wellbeing. Planetary health and climate change are of major concern to our staff and our community. We must identify ways we can continue to provide high quality care in line with the principles of planetary health. NSLHD has an ambitious target of Net Zero carbon emissions by 2035. We will continue to develop a culture that engages and empowers our people, prioritises diversity, inclusion and belonging, and ensures all staff members are physically and psychologically safe, and importantly can be themselves wherever they work in NSLHD. Over the next five years, we will continue to build on our learnings and achievements by encouraging innovation, supporting the wellbeing and development of our staff, and designing models of care with our community that will improve patient and carer experience.
NSLHD is a proud partner of Sydney Health Partners (SHP), an Advanced Health Research and Translation Centre recognised by the National Health and Medical Research Council. NSLHD and the University of Sydney have a long history of collaboration in teaching, education and research. In addition, we are joint venture partners in the governance of the Kolling Institute and together we work to translate scientific breakthroughs into clinical practice, directly improving patient care and the health of our community. The University of Sydney Northern Clinical School educates the next generation of clinicians within clinical teaching facilities at Royal North Shore, Hornsby Ku-ring-gai, Ryde and Macquarie Hospitals. NSLHD also partners with Macquarie University providing clinical placements for students at Royal North Shore Hospital. NSLHD is proud to partner with a number of other tertiary education providers including the University of Technology Sydney, the University of Tasmania, the University of Notre Dame, Australian Catholic University and TAFE NSW.
The Strategic Plan has been developed to build on our accomplishments over the last five years. A comprehensive analysis of our current state was undertaken to understand and capture the strategic issues, challenges and priorities across our hospitals, services and clinical directorates. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how in the face of significant pressures, NSLHD is able to remain an incredibly flexible and resilient organisation. Our highest priority will continue to be the delivery of safe, high quality healthcare. Alongside our service delivery partners, we will continue to improve the way in which we deliver this care. Advancing our technological and digital health capabilities will have a renewed focus to enable the delivery of person-centred care, support our staff and improve the patient and carer experience. Delivering our Digital Strategy 2021-2026 will be dependent on our digital infrastructure and management of privacy and cybersecurity capabilities. Health research will remain at the core of everything we do and we will maintain our reputation as a research-focused organisation.
