Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BCHC) is a large specialist provider of community healthcare with a track record of delivery. Our colleagues provide services to people across Birmingham and the West Midlands, including many of the most vulnerable in our communities.

Our strategy sets out a refreshed - and ambitious - vision to provide the Best Care to people in Healthy Communities; with new organisational values and four strategic objectives that set our priorities so that we continue to improve both for our colleagues and the people we serve.

With 4,500 colleagues and an annual turnover of £280m, BCHC is one of the largest specialist providers of community health services in the NHS. We deliver services to the 1.2 million residents of Birmingham, as well as some services in the Black Country and the wider West Midlands, from our five main clinical divisions:

  • Adult Community Services;
  • Adult Specialist and Rehabilitation services;
  • Children and Families;
  • Learning Disabilities;
  • Dental.

Services for Adults: The Trust offers a wide variety of services for adults and has seven inpatient sites throughout Birmingham including Moseley Hall Hospital, West Heath Hospital, Sheldon Unit (Northfield), CU27 at Good Hope Hospital, Ann Marie Howes (Sheldon), Norman Power Centre (Ladywood) and Perry Tree Centre (Kingstanding).

Services for Children, Young People and Families: A wide range of accessible and responsive universal and specialist services are provided for children, young people and families in homes, schools and clinics across Birmingham. As part of our universal services, every child is supported from pre-birth to five years old by our health visiting teams. Our nurses in mainstream and specialist schools then provide continuing health checks, immunisations and support. For children with additional developmental needs, specialist support is provided in families' homes and in child development centres across the city.

Learning Disability Services: The learning disability service provide healthcare for people aged 19 and over with learning disabilities living in the community. The service aims to provide high quality care through multidisciplinary working and close collaboration with other agencies. The learning disability service works across Birmingham, in which 23,800 (2.3 per cent of the 1.1 million population) have a learning disability.

Rehabilitation: Specialist rehabilitation services are mainly provided at two sites -West Midlands Rehabilitation Centre and at Moseley Hall Hospital. A wide range of services are provided for people living in all parts of the West Midlands to assist them in managing disabilities. The comprehensive range of services is for people with physical, cognitive, emotional and social disabilities. All services are provided by teams of clinical professionals and support staff who aim to provide personalised, integrated services that best meet the needs of individual patients and their carers.
