** About Us **
Welcome to the York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
We became a Foundation Trust on 1 April 2007, which led to significant changes to the overall governance of the organisation and increased the links to the local community through the appointment of governors and members.
We provide acute services for approximately 350,000 people living in and around York and also a range of specialist services over a wider catchment area of around 500,000 people in North Yorkshire.
In April 2011 we took over the management of some community based services in Selby, York, Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale. This includes some community nursing and specialist services as well as Archways in York, St Monica's in Easingwold, The New Selby War Memorial Hospital, Whitby Hospital and Malton Hospital.
Our main site is The York Hospital which offers a range of inpatient and outpatient services. With our two community rehabilitation hospitals at St Helen's and White Cross Court we have over 700 beds.
We provide some more specialist services from other sites, including renal dialysis in Easingwold and Harrogate, and sexual health services in Monkgate Heath Centre in York.
We also work collaboratively in certain specialties through our clinical alliance with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, and we are working ever closer with Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare Services NHS Trust and Hull Teaching Hospital NHS Trust to strengthen the delivery of services across North and East Yorkshire.
We employ over 6000 staff.
More than 92 per cent of the Trust's clinical income arises from contracts with NHS North Yorkshire and York (the Primary Care Trust).
