PAHT 2030

We are on the verge of a defining moment in PAHT’s history.

What lies ahead is a journey of transformation and improvement that will lead us successfully into the future, enabling us to deliver modern, integrated and outstanding care that keeps our growing and ageing population healthier.

Our new hospital is key to us being able to achieve this ambitious vision.

PAHT 2030 is about transforming the way in which healthcare is delivered for our communities and creating a much more modern, much more welcoming place for our patients to be treated and our people to work.

Michael Meredith, Chief Strategy Officer

Our new values will equip us to look ahead to deal with increasing health inequalities and complex medical problems and explore what we can do to reduce the burden of disease on patient populations.
