About our Trust
At County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, our mission is to provide safe, compassionate, and joined-up care to the 650,000 people we serve. With a dedicated team of over 7,500 colleagues working across hospitals and community settings, we are committed to placing people and communities at the heart of all that we do.
We are a dynamic Trust with a commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare. We provide a wide range of services, from acute care in our hospitals to essential support in community settings and patients’ homes. Each member of our team plays a vital role in ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care, tailored to their individual needs.
Our Trust is deeply rooted in the communities we serve. We actively engage with local residents, seeking their input and feedback to shape and improve our services and through our CDDFT Charity we look to further our connections with people, businesses and partners across County Durham and Darlington. We foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement, supporting our workforce to meet the evolving needs of our patients and population.
We invite you to learn more about our services, our people, and our commitment to quality care. Whether you are a patient, a family member, or a potential partner, we welcome your involvement and support in delivering our mission - through our Charity, as a Foundation Trust Member or by sharing your experience.
