Who we are and what we do

Organisational information, structures, locations and contacts

Our role is to provide high quality, best value community and mental health services to people in Southampton, Portsmouth and other parts of Hampshire. Our services are provided from a range of locations, including community hospitals and day hospitals, as well as numerous outpatient and other settings within the community such as health centres, children’s centres and within people’s homes. As part of the NHS family, we work closely with other trusts to make sure that service users get the best possible care.

The strategic direction of the Trust is guided by the Department of Health and the principles set out in the NHS Plan. The Department of Health website has links to key national strategies that guide the NHS nationally.
