North Tees & Hartlepool and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trusts have come together under a ‘Group Model’ to improve healthcare across Tees Valley, North Yorkshire, and County Durham. The joint trusts will hereby be referred to as University Hospitals Tees.

Join our BIG Conversation
Let's talk about what matters to women and girls about their health.
In our region, we want better and fairer health for all women and girls. Even with the progress we've made, women and girls still face challenges when it comes to their health. We want to change this.
Listening and acting on the views and experiences of women is a key part of making the changes we want to see happen – which is why we have launched our BIG conversation to better understand what's working well and what we can improve. The views we hear will directly feed into our plans for the women's health in the region.
Please fill in a short survey, to have your say, by 8th September. If you fill in the survey, you can join a prize draw for a £100 Love to Shop voucher.
Working with Healthwatch we will also be running six focus groups alongside this survey. These groups will reach out to women from seldom heard groups such as people with a learning disability, unpaid carers, and women with maternal mental health challenges.

Survey: How the NHS use data
Patients are being asked their views about how the local NHS uses data to personalise and improve health services. Known as 'risk stratification', the NHS uses patient data such as age, gender, diagnoses, hospital attendance and admissions to link with data at GP practices. The data is then analysed to help the NHS better plan health services for the local area. It helps to spot and proactively manage long-term conditions, prevent unplanned hospital admissions and reduce the risk of getting other diseases.
You can complete the online survey and have your say until 16 August 2024.
