Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust 3.47

We provide a range of mental health, learning disability, eating disorders and substance misuse services for the 1.6 million people living in County Durham, the Tees Valley, Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale, Harrogate, Hambleton and Richmondshire.

More and more people are able to receive the care they need in or near their own homes and we continue to develop and strengthen our community services so that they receive the appropriate level of support.

Some people need to spend time in hospital and our focus here is on making sure that individuals receive effective, therapeutic care. We have just under 1,000 inpatient beds.

TEWV has around 5,700 staff working out of c.170 sites, and an annual income of £270m. We deliver our services by working in partnership with seven local authorities and primary care trusts, a wide range of voluntary organisations, as well as service users, their carers and the public. The services are spread over a wide geographical area of around 3,600 square miles, which includes coastal, rural and industrial areas.
