We provide community health services across the county, offering multi-disciplinary support to people in their homes and in community settings. We also run Gloucestershire’s seven community hospitals which offer inpatient beds, outpatient clinics, diagnostic facilities and Minor Injury and Illness Units.
The Trust provides district nursing in Gloucestershire and therefore works very closely with colleagues in primary care, including GPs and practice nurses. We also provide a large number of specialist countywide services covering – among others – sexual health, heart failure, community dentistry, diabetes, IV therapy, tissue viability, homeless healthcare and community equipment. Allied health professionals are a vital component of our teams and we have a range of physiotherapy services, as well as providing occupational therapy and reablement, all aimed at supporting independence and quality of life.
In total we employ around 3,000 people, with the variety and range of our services always offering new opportunities for learning and career development.
