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.

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.

Licensing and Course Delivery

The international administration of the course is managed by ALERT® HQ.

Copyright on the course is held by Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and institutions wishing to run courses need to sign an End User Licence Agreement (EULA) in order to access the materials.

Hub Licences for managing ALERT® outside the UK and Ireland

Hub Licences are available for organisations wishing to administer ALERT® training in an agreed region or country outside the United Kingdom and Ireland. Hubs are responsible for producing materials and selling them locally, issuing of EULAs within their region and for collecting payments for manuals.

Hubs pay an annual licence fee to ALERT® and a royalty for each person trained in their region. The ALERT® HQ is the hub for the UK and Ireland.

For all other countries, details of your hub will be provided in response to your EULA application. If you are already a EULA holder and wish to become a hub, then please contact us.
