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.

We are working with the BMA to safely manage the impact of the industrial action and continue to provide safe care for our patients.
If you have an appointment planned for Wednesday 14, Thursday 15, or Friday 16 June:
We will be contacting any patients with appointments on these days who will be affected by the industrial action.
If you do not hear from us, please attend your appointment as planned.
If you need medical care:
Please contact your GP Practice as usual.

The industrial action will affect other organisations in the South East and we continue to work with partners across the health and care system in Hampshire and Isle of Wight as patient safety remains our absolute priority.
