Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust is the principal provider of community health services in Hertfordshire, supporting more than 1.2 million people in the county and delivering selected services elsewhere in the East of England. Its staff work in people's homes, schools, clinics and community hospitals rather than from one central acute site.
Services cover every stage of life, from health visiting, school nursing, immunisation, children's therapies and community dentistry to adult community nursing, rehabilitation, specialist nursing and end-of-life care. Some programmes extend into Bedfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The Trust's focus is on helping people stay well, recover safely and maintain independence while reducing the need for avoidable hospital visits.
