The Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys Foundation NHS Trust is a NHS trust that provides mental health services. It covers the 1.4 million people living in County Durham, Teesside and North East Yorkshire, England. The trust's annual income is approximately £200 million, and the trust employs about 5,000 staff who work from over 200 offices. The headquarters of the trust are located at West Park Hospital, Darlington.[1]
The trust was created in 2006 through the merger of two specialist health trusts; the County Durham and Darlington Priority Services NHS Trust and the Tees and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust.[2][3] It was praised, in 2007, by the independent watchdog, the Healthcare Commission, for the quality of its services.[4]
Performance
The Care Quality Commission inspection in December 2014 was positive with patients and carers said they were treated with respect and courtesy by staff.[5]
In 2015 the trust opened the Old Vicarage, in Seaham, as part of its commitment to modernise its mental health and learning disabilities services, with a team of nurses, doctors, therapists, psychologists, support and social workers previously based at Easington Medical Centre.[6]
It was awarded a contract to run mental health and learning disability services in the York area to start in October 2015.[7]
It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 5437 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 5.11%. 70% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 64% recommended it as a place to work.[8]
In March 2016 the trust was ranked fourth in the Learning from Mistakes League.[9]
