We are launching our new joint Digital Strategy across Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT) and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU). Our digital vision is “Working Together, Improving Together – a digitally connected future for better care.”
The strategy sets out our ambitions for the next five years and showcases our commitment to safe, secure and cyber-resilient digital services that protect our patients, our workforce, and our organisations.
We have been working with our Digital team, colleagues and key stakeholders to find out what matters most to you and what we need to improve. This has shaped the strategy and helped us set out the opportunities for improvement.
Josh Clift, Chief Digital Officer at IWT and PHU, said: “We are very pleased to share our new Digital Strategy and share our ambition to remove barriers, unlock innovation and empower our people with the skills to embrace new digital ways of working.
“A huge amount of work has gone into driving digital transformation across both organisations and this strategy will help us create a digital future that not only meets today’s challenges but also anticipates the needs of tomorrow.”
