Working for our organisation

The Sandwell Health & Care Partnership is where our local health and care partners work together to drive greater levels of integration and coordination between services that support our Citizens. Our aim is to work together as one team so that we can improve the all age physical and mental health and wellbeing of the people in Sandwell.

The Partnership is hosted by Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT), an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality. 

The new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), provides care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises.  The new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities. 

As host, the Trust have three newly emerging strategic objectives:

1. Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
2. Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do
3. Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
