Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust's vision is people in our communities living happier, healthier and more hopeful lives.

We are the largest provider of NHS services throughout Cumbria. We have around 4,000 staff that provide over 60 community and mental health services to a population of 500,000. In any one year, we see around one fifth of the population from new born babies to the frail and elderly.

We operate from over 20 main sites and many other premises that are shared with other health or community services, such as GP surgeries.
Our services

Our services are organised into four Care Groups:
• Community Health - providing care in patients' homes or in community settings, such as health centres and community hospitals.
• Mental Health - supporting people with mental health problems to recover and live happy independent healthy lives.
• Children & Families - we promote a healthy start to life and provide healthcare services that are responsive to the changing needs of young people and their families.
• Specialist Services - our specialist services are led by experts in areas including dentistry, sexual health and diabetes. This growing group of services deliver smaller, specialist services into the communities of Cumbria.
