About us
Our trust is innovative and progressive, employing 12,000 staff to serve a population of 500,000 with an extensive range of acute and community health care. It was recognised as "Outstanding" at the CQC inspection in 2016, and again in 2019. Most of the population lives in the more urban South East corner of the largely rural area which stretches from the River Tyne to the River Tweed, a distance of 65 miles, and from the coast to the North Northumberland Coast and the Northumberland National Park offering some of the most dramatic and beautiful scenery in England.
The Trust opened its new Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital (The Northumbria) as the first of its kind in England in June 2015. The Trust also manages three major elective care hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed. Benefiting from substantial capital investment recently and with a further £50 million of hospital schemes under construction, the Trust's c.1,000 beds are all in new, attractive low-rise and purpose-built facilities on spacious sites. A further c.300 beds are provided in seven community hospitals.
As part of its pursuit of excellence, the Trust has introduced a clinically-based management structure to ensure patient care and medical interests always drive decision-making. The consultant body is both cohesive and innovative and a number of senior clinicians are prominent nationally.
