Our Strategy – Working Together, Improving Together

Our strategy sets out our vision, values, strategic aims and most importantly, how we will deliver against these ambitions for our patients, communities, and people in the future.

It is not just a document, it is for and about everyone at PHU, building on what we have achieved with a renewed focus on continuous improvement and the need to continue to work together and improve together to achieve our goals. 

A full copy of the strategy can be downloaded here.

For more information, please visit our strategy webpage.

There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved with the Trust, from volunteering to attending our public meetings, our Annual General Meeting or our hospital open day which is held every year.

Accessibility

Last updated: 09 February 2024

We are in the process of setting up a new website which will be going live on 1 April 2024.

The new website will have improved accessibility and address the outstanding issues on our current site which are:

  • WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible Not visible on buttons including 'Patients & visitors' and 'Work for us' (All pages) 
  • WCAG 1.4.4 Resize Text- At 200% zoom, the dropdown filter box next to 'Search' is partly cut off- this is still an issue. (All pages)
  • WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (minimum)- The button 'View more on twitter' does not have sufficient colour contrast
  • Accessibility Statement is still not compliant. Mandatory legal wording missing, all headings and sections missing- does not follow the model statement

We are committed to ensuring that everyone can access our website and our website has been designed and developed in accordance with web standards and we aim to meet or exceed Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
