North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) is creating a centre of excellence in providing rural and remote healthcare. It provides a wide range of community and acute services to patients throughout north Cumbria and beyond.
The Trust has a 6,000 strong workforce and is passionate about its values of kindness, respect, ambition and collaboration to make NCIC a great place to work. The Trust has five key principles which it believes are vital to deliver ‘safe, high quality care every time’:
- Being a clinically-led organisation
- Quality and safety at the heart
- A positive patient experience every time
- A great place to work
- Managing our money well.
As well as acute hospital services, the Trust is part of eight Integrated Care Communities (ICCs). These were set up in 2018 and have helped to build relationships between a wide range of health and care partners. This includes health and social care staff, GPs, the voluntary sector, as well as the community who are all working in a collaborative way to improve services for patients locally.
NCIC has strong links with local universities in Cumbria providing high quality placements for students and a vast range of unique careers at NCIC.
