Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust
At Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, we are proud to provide expert, compassionate care.
Welcome from Penny Emerit, Chief Executive Officer, Portsmouth Hospitals Univeristy and the Isle of Wight NHS Trusts
We are here for our local population of about 675,000 residents across Portsmouth and south east Hampshire and care for many people beyond.
How we are organised
In 2023 we further strengthened the partnership with the Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT) by forming an NHS Group. The Group is not a merger of our Trusts but will enable greater collaboration between our two organisations. By working together, we hope to be able to provide and improve services across our sites allowing our patients to benefit from the knowledge and expertise held in both Trusts.
We have put in place a leadership structure to enable a focus on joint working to plan for the changes required for clinical and financial sustainability as well as leading day-to-day delivery in each of our Trusts. As a Group, we have an overarching Group Executive Team, supported by dedicated Trust Leadership Teams for both PHU and IWT, each headed by a Chief Officer.
The Group Executive Team are the Board Directors for both PHU and IWT as we remain two separate statutory organisations. They align the strategic direction and transformation work across our two organisations and together with the Trust Leadership Teams, oversee the delivery of each Trust’s operating plan and strategy.
Local hospital services
We offer a full range of hospital services from our main site at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth.
