Company Description
Our vision for Single Corporate Services
Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT) and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) have a shared vision of a single corporate service across our two organisations, supported by a single set of identical systems and processes, under joint leadership, to drive significant efficiencies, improve employee experience, and return time to patient care.

Why are we changing the way we deliver Corporate Services?

The vision for our single corporate services is to: Be an employer of choice for corporate talent, attracting and retaining people who share our values for excellence in care. Improve efficiency through simplified and standardised policies, processes, and systems. Do things once and reduce any duplication on transactional tasks. Co-invest in the latest digital solutions and standardise our approach. Improve learning and development opportunities and sharing best practice. Co-locate teams in purpose-built facilities on the Island and in Portsmouth. Build resilience for individuals and our teams.
The single corporate service is delivered across both organisations. You may be based at either IWT or PHU and individuals may be required to undertake business travel between sites.
