Our Trust
We provide safe, effective and personal care to our patients. We are a community and acute trust serving a large population and our vision is to ensure our patients receive the best care in the right place.
We have over 2,500 staff who work across our community settings and our three hospital sites.
With the support of NHS England and NHS Improvement we are now offering video consultations to some of our patients. This forms part of our response to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The decision to offer this type of appointment will be made by a medical professional depending on your individual care needs.
Video consultations are easy to use and are often more convenient – saving you time and money. NHS Attend Anywhere is a secure web-based platform for patients with pre-arranged video consultation appointments.

Consultant-led outpatient services and therapy services are provided in a range of community settings across our local footprint.
The Care Community staff ensure your voice is heard, which keeps you in control when decisions are made about your health and wellbeing.
Although we try very hard to give you the very best service, unfortunately we may not always get it right and occasionally misunderstandings do occur. If this happens we would like to know.
It is your right to have your complaint investigated and to receive a prompt and full reply from the Chief Executive.
It may help to talk to somebody straight away if you are not happy or think that something is wrong. The quickest way to sort things out is to speak to the person in charge of the ward, clinic or service you are using at the time, or contact the Customer Care Service. They will provide a confidential listening service for patients and carers who wish to comment on any aspect of our service
