QEF Corporate Strategy 2025 - 2030
Page Title
QE Facilities (QEF) has entered an exciting new chapter with the launch of our Corporate Strategy. This strategy sets out our vision for the next five years: to champion our people, deliver services that are quality-focused, and ensure we are fit for the future.
Developed with input from our staff, partners, and stakeholders, the strategy reflects what matters most to those we work with and the challenges and opportunities we face. It builds on the strong foundation we have created since QEF was established, while recognising the need to adapt to an evolving NHS, financial pressures, and the growing importance of digital innovation and sustainability.
At its heart, the strategy is about making sure QEF continues to add value to Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust and the wider health and care system. By aligning everything we do to three clear goals, we can keep growing our business in a way that supports patient care, empowers our people, and strengthens our role as a trusted partner.
You can explore the full detail of our strategy below, starting with our Strategy on a Page, which captures the vision and goals that will guide QEF to 2030.

Our Strategy on a Page gives a snapshot of where we are heading, but behind each goal sits a detailed plan for how we will make it happen. To bring the strategy to life, we have set out three strategic goals:
-
Champion Our People
-
Quality Focused
-
Fit for the Future
