Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.

Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff

Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do

Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve live
