Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust

What Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust does

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) is a public sector NHS Foundation Trust, established in 2006 and headquartered at West Park Hospital, Darlington, providing mental health and learning disability services across County Durham and Darlington, Teesside, North Yorkshire, and York and Selby. The trust operates a multi-site delivery model including inpatient hospitals (West Park Hospital, Foss Park Hospital, Lanchester Road Hospital), community mental health teams, a 24/7 crisis line integrated with NHS 111 option 2, and CAMHS for children and young people. Service portfolio spans adult mental health, older adult mental health including dementia care (MHSOP), learning disability services, and supported programmes such as STOMP (reducing inappropriate psychotropic prescribing) and the Armed Forces Hub. Digital service layers include Recovery College Online (a no-referral virtual course platform), online consultations, the You Matter campaign co-designed with people with lived experience, and a Carers' Hub supporting unpaid carers, families and neighbours.

The trust's business model is statutory public sector healthcare delivery: revenue is derived from NHS England and Integrated Care System commissioning allocations rather than direct patient billing, and services are free at the point of use. TEWV operates as an independent public benefit corporation under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, governed by a board of directors and a council of governors with a membership model comprising public members, patients, carers, and staff. The trust is accountable to Parliament through NHS England and reports into the national NHS governance framework, with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no commercial equity ownership. Distribution is anchored in NHS referral pathways (GPs, NHS 111, self-referral for selected services) and supported by an official digital presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The trust has 5,001-10,000 employees and is WCAG 2.2 AA audited (partial compliance) as of January 2026.
