About us
We are Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust. We provide mental health and learning
disability services to people of all ages.
We deliver a range of community and in-patient care across adult mental
health, children and young peoples services, mental health services for older
people and forensic services. We have
over 7,000 staff working across more than 90 sites.
With an annual operating income of over £420 million, we work in

Psychiatrists are essential contributors to the majority of our mental health teams. Service users expect and are justified to expect collaborative relationships with dedicated psychiatrists who work consistently as part of effective services. Our medical staffing shortage puts strain on services and puts strain on workforce wellbeing and costs extend beyond the financial.
The Medical Directorate and Medical Development Team are striving to improve medical workforce recruitment and retention in a variety of ways and the cornerstone of these efforts is The TEWV Charter for the Medical Workforce. (Please see attached Supporting Document).
