Humber NHS Foundation Trust

What Humber NHS Foundation Trust does

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS Foundation Trust operating as an independent public benefit corporation under the NHS Act 2006, headquartered in Willerby, United Kingdom, with 1,001-5,000 employees. It delivers a comprehensive portfolio of mental health, learning disability, addictions, community, and primary care services across Hull, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and parts of North Yorkshire (Whitby, Scarborough, Ryedale). The Trust operates three main divisions — Adult Mental Health Services (including crisis care, talking therapies, and specialist services), Children and Young People's Mental Health Services (CAMHS, including crisis support and neurodiversity services), and Community Services (community hospitals, primary care, drug and alcohol services, and memory services) — supported by dedicated services such as the Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service, Perinatal Mental Health Team, and forensic services delivered via the Humber and North Yorkshire Provider Collaborative.

The Trust's underlying technology infrastructure is built on standard NHS Digital systems: SystmOne electronic health records for clinical documentation, the Yorkshire and Humber Care Record for cross-organisational data sharing, the Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination System (EPaCCS) for end-of-life care coordination, and AccessAble for building accessibility information. Patient access is enabled through a 24/7 freephone crisis line (0800 138 0990), NHS 111 mental health option integration, NHS 111 SignVideo for deaf and hard-of-hearing users, and the 111.nhs.uk online portal. The Trust is CQC-registered, UK GDPR and Caldicott Guardian compliant, and operates under NHS Records Management and Data Security and Protection Toolkit standards.

The Trust operates a non-commercial revenue model funded entirely through the NHS: block contracts from NHS Hull Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS East Riding of Yorkshire CCG, specialised commissioning from NHS England for mental health, learning disability, and autism services, and additional income from training, apprenticeships, and university clinical placement partnerships. All NHS-funded services are free at the point of delivery under the NHS Constitution. The customer base is structurally concentrated on three government commissioning bodies plus the general public as end beneficiaries, with go-to-market executed via NHS referral pathways (GP referral, self-referral for mental health, emergency access via NHS 111/999) rather than commercial sales channels. The wholly-owned subsidiary Health Stars operates as an NHS charity for patient fundraising.
