NHS Telford and Wrekin

NHS Telford and Wrekin is the leader of the local National Health Service (NHS) and is the everyday name for the Primary Care Trust. Our role is to ensure the people of Telford and Wrekin have access to the right care, at the right time in the right place and delivered by the right person.

NHS Telford and Wrekin was formed in 2002 and the people who work for us purchase and plan services for you and the 164,000 people who live in the region.  NHS Telford and Wrekin is formed of the commissioning or purchasing departments and the provider arm, known as Telford and Wrekin Community Health Services.

We are responsible for everything from GP practices, pharmacists, opticians and dentists to purchasing emergency surgery at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. In addition, we provide a range of community-based services including health visiting, district nursing, intermediate care and Adult Learning Disability (ALD) nursing.
