Our business continuity plan

phs has implemented a Coronavirus (COVID-19) business continuity plan. The purpose of this plan is to maintain phs services, protect our staff and minimise the spread of the disease.

The plan ensures phs can service as many customers as possible without placing our colleagues, or the greater community, at infection risk. It is monitored by our crisis management team made up of key senior directors and managers who have daily calls.

Our teams will deal with every enquiry as quickly as possible. You can also find lots of information on your account on our customer portal at www.myphs.phs.co.uk or scroll down for our frequently asked questions section.
