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.

Appointments on Bank Holiday - Monday 19 September

Date: 14 September 2022

Monday 19 September has been declared a national Bank holiday to mark the date of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s State Funeral. While some services are reduced, in recognition of the Bank Holiday and to allow our staff pay their respects to Her Majesty and commemorate Her reign, we are continuing to provide more services than on a normal bank holiday.

 

All patients who have an appointment or procedure scheduled for Monday will be contacted this week by telephone, text message or email.

 

We understand this may be a difficult time for many people and we are working hard to ensure we can continue to provide the best possible care. We would like to thank all our patients for their understanding at this time. We are making provision for those patients already in hospital to be able to pay their respects and watch the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Please remember to call NHS 111 or visit NHS 111 online if you or your family need urgent medical help. Urgent treatment centres will run as normal throughout this bank holiday weekend. Patients with life-threatening illnesses should still attend our ED department.

We would once again like to share our deep condolences with the Royal Family for their loss.
