Stockport NHS Foundation Trust
Stockport NHS Foundation Trust delivers acute hospital services from its headquarters at Stepping Hill Hospital and community services across the Stockport locality of Greater Manchester.
With an annual budget of around £470m and 6,500 staff, the Trust supports around half a million patients a year across Stockport, as well as patients from neighbouring Cheshire East and the High Peak area of Derbyshire.
We are no ordinary trust. We hold a unique position in the Stockport community as the provider of healthcare and we are one of its largest employers. We are an integrated provider of acute hospital and community services to the people of Stockport, as well serving the populations of East Cheshire and the High Peak in North Derbyshire.
We offer a number of specialist services and play a key partnership role with Greater Manchester, Stockport and East Cheshire. With an annual budget of around £470 million we provide healthcare for residents in Stockport, East Cheshire and North Derbyshire as well as patients we treat from other boroughs in Greater Manchester who choose our services. We are working closely with East Cheshire NHS Trust to understand how some health and care services could be improved and sustained in the future.
We are a specialist `hub` centre for emergency and high risk general surgery, one of only four in Greater Manchester and covering the South East sector of our region.
We are fully committed to being transparent and implementing the principles of Being Open and Honest.
