We also provide outpatient and diagnostic services across all three hospitals and are about to build a new Community Diagnostic Centre at St Margaret's Hospital in Epping.Our future PAHTWe 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.Against a backdrop of NHS and system transformation, the relentless pace of scientific, technical and clinical innovation, and our amazing opportunity to build a brand-new hospital, we have developed a strategy that is big, bold and ambitious.This is PAHT 2030, our organisational roadmap for the next five years. It is designed to inspire and challenge us, to guide and unite us in working smarter and better to achieve our vision.We have already made great progress, and there is much more to do. Now, more than ever, we are coming together as one team, working with our local, regional and national partners, our patients and our communities to make PAHT the centre of excellence we know it can be.Welcome letterThank you for your interest in the Chief Executive role at The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (PAHT) and for taking the time to read this information pack.We are seeking an outstanding, highly motivated, patient and people focussed individual to join the team at PAHT, at what is a hugely exciting time for the organisation.We have a strong and clear vision to be modern, integrated, and outstanding in all that we do and a clear strategy (PAHT 2030) about how we are going to get there over the next five years. This is built on strong values of patient at heart, everyday excellence, and creative collaboration and five clear strategic priorities of transforming our care, our culture, digital health, corporate transformation, and our new hospital.We are launching our new electronic health record (Alex Health) in October that will enable us to become one of the most digitally advanced hospitals in the country. This will support and underpin our digital health priority and the advancements we have made in recent years in using the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence in radiology and some of our corporate services, robotic surgery, and system integration. It will also support our collaboration with partners across the local West Essex Health and Care Partnership (WE HCP) and the Hertfordshire and West Essex ICS, and our new Chief Executive will be tasked with forging ever closer relationships with our system partners, devising new models of care to best support the population we jointly serve across Hertfordshire and West Essex.PAHT is part of the national New Hospital Programme to build a new hospital for Harlow, a complete replacement of the PAH site, by 2030 / 2032, and the CEO role will be instrumental in driving this with Trust, system, regional and national colleagues. In advance of this, our Community Diagnostic Centre facility on the St Margaret's site is due to be open in 2025, increasing diagnostic capacity and providing access to services closer to home, aligned with our collaboration with health and care partners across WE HCP.Collaboration is at the centre of all that we do and you will need to be a collaborator and a strong advocate for working with partners across HWE ICS and WE HCP and continuing to develop how local services can be redesigned and improved jointly.
