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.

Patient Enquiry Form

We are predominantly a service to diagnose and treat patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. We will occasionally diagnose other sleep disorders but don’t accept referrals directly for other disorders. We are sorry but we do not accept referrals or treat insomnia.

We encourage our current patients to contact us either by

  • Telephone on 02392 286000. Ext 3448 for equipment/clinical enquiries

or

02392286665 for referral/appointment enquiries.

If no one answers, please leave a message and someone from the team will get back to you. We aim to answer the messages on daily basis. We endeavour to return the call within 24 hours.

You will need to complete the form by giving us your contact information and details of your enquiry.

The forms will be monitored daily (Monday-Friday), and we will do our best to fulfil your request in a timely manner.

If you are not known to the sleep team, you will require a referral before we can assist you.
