About Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is the main provider of district general hospital services for nearly half a million people in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and mid Wales.
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is an organisation that strives to provide high quality, safe care for our patients in an environment which our staff are proud to work in.
We believe that by adhering to our Vision and working with our Values in mind we can behave in a way which will ensure the right results for the people that matter most – our patients and their families.
Our Values are:
- Partnering – working effectively together with patients, families, colleagues, the local health and care system, universities and other stakeholders and through our improvement alliance.
- Ambitious – setting and achieving high standards for ourselves personally and for the care we deliver, both today and in the future. Embracing innovation to continuously improve the quality and sustainability of our services.
- Caring – showing compassion, respect and empathy for our patients, families and each other, caring about the difference we make for our community.
- Trusted – open, transparent and reliable, continuously learning, doing our best to consistently deliver excellent care for our communities.
The first letter of each of our new Values spells PACT, which represents our joint commitment to embrace and live our Values.
Our locations
Our main service locations are the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in Shrewsbury, which together provide 99% of our activity.
Both hospitals provide a wide range of acute hospital services including accident and emergency, outpatients, diagnostics, inpatient medical care, and critical care.
Alongside our services at PRH and RSH, we also provide community and outreach services such as:
- Consultant-led outreach clinics
- Midwife-led units
- Renal dialysis outreach services
- Community services including Midwifery, Audiology and Therapies
Most of our patients and communities live in three local authority areas – Shropshire Council, Telford & Wrekin Council and Powys County Council.
We employ almost 7,000 people across our two hospitals and other sites, along with a further 1,000 students and staff from other organisations who also work in our hospitals. Most of our staff also live within the three local catchment areas.
The Trust has achieved teaching hospital status through our partnership with the Keele University School of Medicine. We also benefit from strong partnerships with Staffordshire University in the training of nurses and allied health professionals.
