Mid Cheshire is one of the largest local employers with around 5,500 staff across its sites. We support our staff through engagement, training and development, recognising that this impacts positively on the care we provide our patients by helping to attract the very best staff.

Our Trust strategy has been developed to support us to create clinically and financially sustainable services that are best able to meet the changing and growing needs of the local population. There is no single answer but, working with our partners, we will collaborate in new and innovative ways so that we can truly transform the way we operate as a health and care system. With patients at the heart of everything we do, we will harness the benefits of digital technology, maintain investment in enhancing our infrastructure via our new-build programme and empower our staff to continue to provide the very best care possible

As part of the national New Hospital Programme, Leighton Hospital is being reimagined and new land has been secured to build without the barriers of what’s been before to develop a new health and care neighbourhood, which will include our new Leighton Hospital in Crewe. This is a once in a generation opportunity to change how healthcare is delivered, describing how each of us can play our part in creating the best, Healthier Future. You can find out more at our dedicated Healthier Futures website.

Our ambition for our new hospital and our Trust strategy clearly underpin our mission to inspire hope and provide unparalleled care for the people and communities of Cheshire, helping them to enjoy life to the fullest.
