Our Vision "We are committed to be a first class provider of clinical services, education, research and development"
"We strive to provide a world class hospital service and, by building a new hospital equipped with state of the art medical and diagnostic facilities run by highly skilled and talented staff, we will ensure that our patients receive the very best care and treatment"
We want to become an organisation that listens and works with local people and its staff, to develop services that better meet the healthcare needs of the communities we serve. The Trust is also the major centre for treating trauma and emergency patients, seeing over 100,000 patients a year within our Emergency Care Centre.
As a local hospital we provide the very best standards of care for our patients and are proud of our clinicians and the care they provide. We continue to have one of the lowest hospital mortality (death) rates across the whole of the West Midlands, and the midwives and doctors in our Maternity Services have helped us to achieve the best quality service, one of only 12 Hospitals nationally.
