About us
Our Integrated Care System, (ICS) footprint, covers 1,347 square miles, but is one of the smallest in terms of population, covering around 500,000 people.
We have one Integrated Care Board (ICB) covering the area of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and two Local Unitary Authorities; Shropshire Council and Telford and Wrekin Council.
We have two Acute Hospitals, sited less than 20 miles apart, with services delivered by one Acute Trust, Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust (SaTH). There is also a specialist Orthopaedic Hospital, Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (RJAH), which provides elective orthopaedic surgery, sited in the North-West of the County.
Additional providers include a Community Trust (Shropcom), a Mental Health Trust, Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) which covers Shropshire and Staffordshire, and the Region is served by the West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust (WMAS).
Our ICS area is one of a handful that borders Wales, and provides some hospital services for people from the Welsh Health System who are external to the ICS footprint. Some residents of Mid-Wales therefore rely on the services at SaTH and RJAH.
