The North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust is a National Health Service foundation trust that provides hospital and community-based healthcare services to the populations of Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, and parts of County Durham in England. The trust operates several facilities, including the University Hospital of North Tees and the University Hospital of Hartlepool.

History[edit]

The North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust was established in 2007, following the merger of the North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trusts. The trust was granted foundation status in 2007, which provided it with greater financial and operational autonomy. This status allows the trust to reinvest any surplus funds into improving services and facilities.

Services[edit]

The trust provides a wide range of healthcare services, including emergency care, elective surgeries, maternity services, and specialist medical treatments. The University Hospital of North Tees is the main acute hospital, offering a comprehensive range of services, while the University Hospital of Hartlepool focuses on elective procedures and outpatient care.

Maternity Services[edit]

Community Health Services[edit]

In addition to hospital-based care, the trust provides a variety of community health services. These include district nursing, health visiting, and specialist community clinics. The aim is to deliver care closer to home and reduce the need for hospital admissions.

Future Developments[edit]

The trust is actively involved in planning for future healthcare needs. This includes exploring options for new facilities and services to meet the growing demands of the local population. The trust is also focused on integrating digital technologies to enhance patient care and streamline operations.
