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.

  • Tissue Viability

    Our Tissue Viability (TV) team provides specialist advice on wound care management and pressure ulcer prevention. 

    Pressure ulcers (also known as bed sores) is skin damage that happens when the blood supply to your skin is affected. This can be on broken or unbroken skin.

    They most commonly occur when body weight or devices cause pressures on vulnerable areas of skin.

    Patients are more at risk of getting a pressure ulcer if they have reduced mobility or wearing a device such as a plaster cast.
