become a new organisation, Wye Valley NHS Trust which brings
together acute, community health and adult social care

The key principles of Wye Valley NHS Trust are to improve the
health and well being of the people we serve in Herefordshire and
the surrounding areas.
We are working across traditional boundaries to provide
integrated care in order to deliver a standard of care we would
want for ourselves, our families and friends.
With an estimated annual turnover of around £160million, we
employ around 2,500 staff . As the first integrated provider
of acute, community and social care in England, we aim to build new
relationships between our staff, patients, service users and their
carers, and with the wider community.
We are a clinical and practitioner-led organisation owned by our
local community and staff, we are also working towards Foundation
Trust status with the aim of achieving it in 2013.
