Purpose and ambition...

Who are we?...

The NENC Provider Collaborative is a formal partnership of all 11 NHS Foundation Trusts (FTs) in the region. We are a key part of how our Integrated Care System (ICS) works. We provide 
community, mental health and acute hospital care, as well as ambulance and patient transport services. Together, we take shared responsibility for the big issues that affect all NHS organisations and aim to plan collectively for the future.

We are proud of our strong history of working together in the North East and North Cumbria. Over the past year, we’ve continued to build on this by strengthening our leadership, deepening our partnerships and improving care for patients and staff.

What do we want to achieve?...

Our Provider Collaborative is formally represented as a partner member on the region’s Integrated Care Board (ICB) and we are proud to share the same strategic goals to:

  • Improve outcomes in population health and healthcare by focusing on improving health inequalities that exist within the region. 
  • Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access by optimising the delivery, quality and efficiency of provided through our 11 FTs. 
  • Enhance productivity and value for money by taking necessary collaborative. action, including mutual aid and support.
  • Help the NHS support broader social and economic development by providing opportunities and harnessing our collective strength to influence change.
