About Us
We are a pioneering research-active organisation and we are proud to be doing things differently; whether that is redefining the shape of the local health and care system through our innovative plans for integrated care.
As well as creating the future, we also know the importance of providing really good, safe, and caring services for our patients. Our patients tell us we're getting this right, with our Friends and Family Test results consistently above 95 per cent (patients 'extremely likely' or 'likely' to recommend us to their friends and family).
