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.
We welcome and value your feedback and use the views you share with us in a number of ways to learn and make improvements as well as sharing best practice. Feedback can be provided in a number of ways.

To deliver excellence in kidney care.
To care for patients with kidney disease and educate patients, relatives/carers and other healthcare professionals in renal disease, improving patients’ health, maximising autonomy, minimising suffering and maximising longevity/quality of life.
We will embody the PHT values in everything we do: respect and dignity, quality of care, working together and efficiency.
We will aim to provide best practice, seeking to emulate from those who perform better, research, innovate and learn from our mistakes.
We will aim to strike the appropriate balance between care close to a patient’s home and centralisation of services for specialisation and economies of scale.
We will aim to provide services in sites which appropriately geographically cover the patient population, minimising patient travel where possible, including new sites where these fulfil these criteria.
We will aim to employ sufficient suitably qualified, trained and supported staff to deliver excellent care, while continually considering alternative ways of working, efficiency, modernisation, alternative roles and technological alternatives.
