Our aim is to constantly improve our patients’ lives by providing you with the best care, close to where you live.

Our specialist teams provide personalised health and care services for everyone, from babies to the elderly.

specialised care for all

Specialised care for all

We help to keep people healthy and work with patients to regain their independence and quality of life after a brain injury, stroke or fall. We also provide end-of-life care services both at people’s homes and in specialist community units, to allow people to pass away comfortably and with dignity.

We care for the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in our communities who can find it very difficult or daunting to get the right healthcare, for example migrant populations, sex workers and people who are homeless. We also support people of all ages with Learning Difficulties, right across the county - empowering them to live healthy and independent lives.

Your best interest at heart

What makes us different is that we want our organisation to have patients at the heart of every decision we make, and to be led by the people who understand our patients’ needs most – our clinicians.

We are pioneering in our approach and lead research projects with our partners, the local universities, to find new and better ways of providing community health and care.

valued staff

Our valued staff

We employ 2,230 members of staff (1,900 whole-time equivalent roles). 80% of these staff are clinicians; health professionals like doctors, dentists, nurses and physiotherapists.

Most of our other staff are the people you will meet or speak to over the phone – from the administrative assistant who arranges your appointment for you and makes you feel comfortable when you arrive at our clinics or community hospitals.  Others work behind the scenes, maintaining our clean, comfortable wards and clinics, providing you with the information you need about our services or making sure our money is well spent on the best care for our community.
