Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides acute and community healthcare for more than 400,000 people across Chester, West Cheshire and the Deeside area of Flintshire. Its location near the Welsh border means it works closely with both Cheshire and Merseyside partners and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
The Countess of Chester Hospital provides general and acute care, including emergency, planned, diagnostic, women's and children's services. Ellesmere Port Hospital focuses on rehabilitation, intermediate care and outpatients, while Tarporley War Memorial Hospital supports community services for rural areas. Across these sites, the trust treats needs ranging from routine appointments and diagnostics to urgent care and major cancer surgery, with therapy and community teams supporting recovery.
