About the Humber Health Partnership
The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest Groups in the NHS, with a budget of over £1.6bn and 19,000 dedicated staff serving 1.5 million people. Bringing together Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG), we deliver care across five hospital sites and community settings providing secondary and tertiary care to a significant sized population. We also deliver a wide range of community services across North and North East Lincolnshire, including district nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry, and specialist dental services. As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we are a UK leader in research and innovation, and a key partner in the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care System.
As a Group we continue to face significant regulatory and performance challenges and have recently been placed into Special Measures (NOF 5) by NHS England. With a new Chief Executive and Chair in place, we are focused on driving improvement, strengthening our services, and providing better outcomes for our patients and communities. We’re proud of what our people have achieved so far and remain committed to making our Group a great place to work, with patients at the heart of everything we do.
