CWP has around 15,000 foundation trust members. It employs more than 3,400 staff across 65 sites and serves a population of over a million people.

In July 2013 the trust selected Ryhurst Ltd as preferred bidder for a comprehensive range of Facilities Management services in a partnership which will last for an initial 15-year period, with an option to extend for a further five years.[1]

Facilities

The trust runs a Health and Education Assessment Unit at Adcote House where Pets as Therapy are involved.[2] It runs three general practices in Cheshire: Old Hall Surgery in Ellesmere Port, Westminster Surgery and Willaston Surgery, taken over as the practices could not recruit new partners.[3]

Performance

It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 2,986 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 5.61%. 67% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 61% recommended it as a place to work.[4] In the 2016 NHS Staff Survey it did best of all mental health, learning disability and community trusts.[5]
