As an NHS Foundation Trust, HEFT cares deeply about the local communities it serves. We are passionate about meeting your needs, delivering services in the way you can best receive them, and talking to local people about both their good and bad experiences with any of our hospitals, staff or services. Getting you involved is how we improve.

To make sure we offer the best possible service to our patients, we have set up a variety of ways for you to get in touch, put your point across, or even help us in delivering some of our services.
