About the Trust

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) provides services to over 400,000 people across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Norfolk and North Essex. We employ over 3,000 staff who deliver mental health and learning disability services. These include child and adolescent, older people and adult services within community and inpatient settings.

We also provide support services for carers within our community mental health services. We are working to improve the way that we engage families in caring for their loved ones.

Our work is driven by a very strong set of values. We put you and your carers at the heart of everything we do and ensure that our services make a positive difference to their lives.
