Vital signs are an approach to planning and managing some of the most important areas of health services locally and nationally.
Vital signs have been developed by the Department of Health to help organisations like NHS Sheffield to set a framework to allow more decision making to take place locally.
The idea is that NHS Sheffield - and local health professionals - will be able to develop healthcare in the City to better meet the needs of local people.
The latest NHS Sheffield Performance Reports are available in our board papers.
