Geographically we’re one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the country, spanning County Durham and Darlington, Teesside, North Yorkshire and York and Selby.
We deliver a range of community and inpatient care across adult mental health, children and young people’s services, mental health services for older people and forensic services.
Our 7,500 staff work across more than 90 sites, including Foss Park, a new state of the art 72-bed hospital in York which opened in 2020.
With an annual operating income of over £420 million, we work in partnership with local authorities, clinical commissioning groups, voluntary organisations, the private sector, as well as people who use our services and their families and carers.
Our Journey to Change
Our Journey to Change sets out where we want to be in five years’ time – it explains why we do what we do, the kind of organisation we want to be and the three big goals we’re committing to over the next five years.
It’s the result of our biggest ever listening exercise and really importantly it’s been co-created with staff, patients, carers and partners.
What do we want to achieve?
We want people to lead their best possible lives.
Our values
The most important way we will get there is by living our values all of the time. These are:
- Respect – listening, inclusive, working in partnership
- Compassion – kind, supporting, recognising and celebrating
- Responsibility – honest, learning, ambitious
