About us

Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.

Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens later this year and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises.

If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.

We have three strategic objectives:

Patients - to be good or outstanding in everything we do

People - to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff

Population - to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
