About North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust

North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust (NCM) serves more than one million residents across the Halton and Warrington boroughs and the wider North West region. Bringing together community and out-of-hospital services (formerly provided by Bridgewater Community Healthcare) with inpatient and elective care (formerly Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals) we provide services at two hospital sites and more than 70 community hubs and facilities. Warrington Hospital provides emergency care, general medicine, surgery, cardiac care, stroke care, cancer care, maternity, paediatrics, and support services like physiotherapy, pathology, and pharmacy. Halton Hospital in Runcorn specialises in elective and diagnostic care. It includes the Captain Sir Tom Moore Building and Nightingale Building, offering services including general surgery, urology, cancer care, chemotherapy, and outpatient care. The site is also home to the Delamere Macmillan Unit, Halton Clinical Research Unit, and Runcorn Urgent Treatment Centre. The hospital sites are around 10 miles apart and are close to the north west motorway network, offering outpatient clinics and diagnostic services as well as inpatient care. Community-based services are provided from patients' homes, clinics and health centres. Mobile facilities and virtual appointment options aim to improve access to care and reduce health inequalities.
