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.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are a great opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills required to work within the NHS at the same time as earning a wage. Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust has employed apprentices in a wide range of roles, both clinical and non-clinical, since 2011, with a significant number progressing to permanent positions within the organisation.

An apprentice may be a newly recruited member of staff, or an existing member of staff undertaking an apprenticeship programme to further develop in their chosen career. To learn more about apprenticeships with Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, click here

Watch the Choose an Apprenticeship video, produced by the National Skills Academy for Health, to learn more about why you should choose an apprenticeship in the NHS.
