Sheffield Health & Social Care NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS Foundation Trust which runs mental health and learning difficulty services in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It runs the Central Health Clinic, Intensive Support Services, Jordanthorpe Health Centre, the Supported Living Service, Highgate Surgery, Darnall Community Health, Longley Meadows, Woodland View, Respite Service at 136 Warminster Road, Bolehill View, Hurlfield View, The Longley Centre, Michael Carlisle Centre, Warminster Road, Fulwood House, Forest Close, Forest Lodge, Grenoside Grange and Wainwright Crescent.
The trust made plans in June 2015 to set up a new company which could bid to run NHS services. The current board of directors would become shareholders. The new company would include the Clover Group of GP practices - Darnall Primary Care Centre, Highgate Surgery, Jordanthorpe Health Centre, and the Mulberry Practice. It could provide supported living services and respite care services. In April 2017 it had taken over the management of six Gp practices with a GP list of 26,500.
A Care Quality Commission inspection in 2015 found great variation in service delivery. The Trust’s forensic inpatient services were rated as “outstanding”. Mental health crisis services, wards for older people with mental health problems and community mental health services for older people were rated “good” but, overall, the Trust was rated as “requires improvement” because of concerns about Staff shortages and medicines management.
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 2392 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 5.97%. 67% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 65% recommended it as a place to work.
In 2016 the trust reported that it had removed the need for placing patients in beds out of the area. In 2011/12 there had been 2939 bed nights out of the area, but in 2015/6 only 188. The number of inpatient beds in use dropped over the same period from 141 to 84. £2 million saved had been used to employ more community nurses, and there were now always beds available in a crisis.
