About us
NHS
England and NHS Improvement came together on 1 April 2019 as a new single
organisation. The NHS Long Term Plan focuses on delivering integrated care to
patients at the local level and we can best support the NHS to deliver this as
a single integrated organisation.
Our
new operating model represents a strong shift to regional delivery supported by
expert corporate teams. Local health systems are supported by our integrated
regional teams who play a major leadership role in the geographies they manage.
Specialised services support people with a range of rare and complex conditions. They often involve treatments provided to patients with rare cancers, genetic disorders or complex medical or surgical conditions.
We are jointly committed to creating and maintaining a fair
and supportive working environment and culture, where contributions are fully
recognised and valued by all and staff feel empowered to carry out their duties
to the best of their abilities. As employers we are committed to promoting and
protecting the physical and mental health and well-being of all our staff. This
underpins our values as set out in the NHS Constitution, supports us to be an
Employer of Choice and ultimately enables our employees to support the
effective care of our patients.
