Celebrating International Women's Day 2025
Women play a vital role within the NHS, making up 78% of our workforce and 82% of the social care workforce. We are committed to building an inclusive and equitable health and care system for all.
Who we are...
We are an NHS organisation which plans, buys and oversees health services for people living in our region.
Our role is to make sure health services work well, are high quality and safe. We work to join-up health and care services, improve the health and wellbeing of local people and reduce health inequalities across our area.
With an NHS budget of nearly £7 billion, we look after around 3.2 million people across the North East and North Cumbria. We cover the largest geographical area in the country.
