About the Client
Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) was formed on 1 June 2018 following a merger between South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust.
We are an integrated organisation that provides physical and mental health, learning disability and social care services.
As an organisation we serve a population of 1.7 million, over a core geography of 2,400 square miles, and employ around 10,500 members of staff.
To ensure that our services retain a local focus, they are organised into four care groups, each led by a Managing Director:
- Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent
- Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin
- Children and Families
- Specialist services
The majority of our services are delivered in Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin, but through Inclusion, part of our Specialist Care Group, we cover much of England.
Partnership working is vital for us to achieve maximum efficiency and we are proud of the relationships we hold across the wider health and care systems including within the third and voluntary sector, at local, regional and national level.
