About Humber Health Partnership
Our Group is one of the largest in the NHS, with a budget of over £1.6 billion, employing 19,000 staff.
Made up of two Trusts – Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) – we’re committed to delivering world-class services for the 1,500,000 people we serve.
Our five main hospital sites are Castle Hill Hospital, Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Goole and District Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary, and Scunthorpe General Hospital. We deliver a wide range of community services across North and North East Lincolnshire, including district nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry and specialist dental services.
The Group sees well over a million patients every year with around 356,700 attendances at our emergency departments, 155,000 hospital admissions and more than 1.3 million outpatient appointments. The Group delivers around 8,100 babies each year and our community services provide vital healthcare to patients in their own homes.
The Group has also been recognised for its work in supporting veterans, newly qualified nurses and our international recruitment programme.
The Group has 14 Care Groups, working jointly with Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust to deliver Clinical services to both sides of the Humber Estuary. These are supported by Corporate Services, Estates, Facilities and Development, Strategy and Planning, Finance, Human Resources including education and Development, Quality Governance, Corporate Governance, Information Management and Technology.

Our vision is:
United by Compassion: Driving for Excellence
We want the best for our patients, our people and our population – we are Driving for Excellence. In everything that we do, we are led by our values. Our values shape how we work and how we interact with our colleagues, patients, loved ones and wider communities. Our values were co-designed with our people across both organisations to reflect our group identity and underpin what we do and how we do it.
Our values

Respect
We recognise and respect everyone’s unique contribution.
Teamwork
We work together to achieve the best for our patients and communities.
Regional context
We operate as part of an integrated care board – NHS Humber and North Yorkshire (HNY). The ICB’s objective is to narrow the gap in healthy life expectancy by 2030 – increasing healthy life expectancy by five years by 2035. The Group also provides services for significant numbers of patients who reside in the County of Lincolnshire which is in a separate ICB area.
We have a number of major challenges:
- The HNY population is aging at a faster rate than anywhere else in the country (by 2043, there will be 75% more people aged 75 and over) – healthy life expectancy is actually decreasing in some areas.
- Many of our specialist and most experienced staff are going to be retiring in the next 10 years
- Inequalities between different groups of patients will worsen if we don’t take action
- Too many people in the area are having to wait longer to see a health and / or care professional and get the advice, support and / or treatment they need.
