About:

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) provides a range of mental health, learning disability and eating disorder services for the people living in County Durham and Darlington, the Tees Valley and most of North Yorkshire.  With over 6,500 staff and an annual operating income of over £300 million we deliver our services by working in partnership with local authorities and clinical commissioning groups, a wide range of other providers including voluntary organisations and the private sector, as well as service users, their carers and the public. TEWV serves patients across a large geographical area. Our main towns and cities are Durham, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Whitby, Harrogate,  Ripon, Vale of York and there are numerous smaller seaside and market towns scattered throughout our patch. We are also in the catchment area for the largest concentration of armed forces personnel in the UK (Catterick Garrison).

Thanks to more than 2500 of you who took part in Our Big Conversation, Our Journey To Change is a reflection of where you want us to be and how we’ll get there.

What is Our Journey To Change?

We launched Our Journey To Change on 30 March 2021 at a celebration event with the people who helped us create it. Download a copy of Our Journey To Change. You can hear some of those voices in the video we’ve created to explain what it is and why people are getting excited about it. You can also watch our launch event and hear from our chief executive Brent Kilmurray, our chairman Miriam Harte and Ros Savege who is involved with TEWV as a carer,  about what our future plans mean to them.
