Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WHH) is a fast-paced, ambitious organisation that is caring, compassionate, innovative and focused on the best outcomes for its patients and the employment experience of its staff.
We are committed to being an inclusive and friendly place to work with 5,000 members of staff – many of whom live in the areas they serve – who represent in the region of 80 different nationalities.
A dedicated planned care centre located at Halton Hospital in Runcorn enables elective procedures to continue uninterrupted by the patient flow challenges of our acute site at Warrington, where urgent, unplanned and critical care, maternity and women’s and children’s services are provided.
The Board has approved more than £80m investment in our existing estate over the past five years to meet growing and changing demands and ensure fit-for-purpose facilities until such time as a new hospital becomes a reality.
Investment and development of the Halton Hospital site continues to be a key strategic aim of the Trust following the opening of Warrington and Halton Diagnostic Centre, which provides services in the Nightingale and Captain Sir Tom Moore Buildings, Halton Health Hub in Runcorn Shopping City, and latterly at the Living Well Hub in Warrington town centre.
The Living Well Hub, along with the soon to open Well Runcorn health and education facility, are prime examples of how we are working closely with our strategic partners and third sector organisations to successfully bring care closer to the community.
We were rated ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission in their last full inspection in 2019, and our maternity services were rated ‘Good’ in 2024.
