Our Commitment
Within the Northumbria Healthcare Clinical Health Psychology Grouping, we strive to embed psychologically-informed care by supporting the MDT teams and stakeholder partners to deliver an effective, integrated approach to the provision of care. We aim to support person-centred and psychosocial approaches across MDT pathways and systems, and in every contact a person has with the medical and surgical teams. We want to put patients at the heart of healthcare provision and help to re-configure potential barriers to whole-person formulation and care, including overcoming any artificial separation of mental and physical health, and by focussing on the person and family.
About Us
We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, covering one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country. Leading in innovation and quality – opening a state of the art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England.
