Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust (HDFT) was founded under the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 and authorised as an NHS Foundation Trust from 1 January 2005.
In addition, the Trust provides some community services across North Yorkshire (with a population of 621,000 people) and provides Children's and Young People's Public Health Services between birth and 19 (or in some cases 25) years of age in North Yorkshire, County Durham, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton-On-Tees, Sunderland, Gateshead, Northumberland and Wakefield.
HDFT is proud to be the largest provider of Children's and Young People's Public Health Services (also known as 0-19 or 0-25 services) in England. These are universal services which are delivered by multi-disciplinary teams led by Specialist Children's Public Health Nurses, both as Health Visitors (for children up to 5 years old) and School Nurses (for children from 5 years old).
We work closely with other trusts, local authorities and other organisations to be a strong partner. We are part of the local governance and system working for children's services and we tailor our services to the strengths and challenges of the local population. Many of these services are now delivered through partnership agreements with local authorities and this is a strategy we are keen to replicate in other areas because it enables long term investment and development of the services.
