About Our Organization

We are collaborating with other local NHS Trusts to establish a new entity that integrates all community, mental health, and learning disability services across the region. This initiative aims to create a unified organization by the end of the year, enhancing the consistency of care and equitable access to services for all communities.

The program, known as Project Fusion, is focused on forming a new combined NHS Foundation Trust. This new entity will encompass services currently provided by various trusts, ensuring that care is tailored to meet the unique needs of different populations.
