Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust provides community health services (not including adult mental health) in Shropshire (including Telford and Wrekin). It was established in July 2011 from the community health provider arms of Shropshire County PCT and Telford and Wrekin PCT. It runs services at Community Hospitals in Ludlow, Bridgnorth, Bishop's Castle and Whitchurch.

The Trust is under pressure to make £2.5 million of savings in 2013/4.

It had plans to build a new £27 million hospital in Ludlow, replacing the existing Ludlow Hospital, but an error in calculating how many patients would use the new site, which would have also included new facilities for two GP surgeries, led to a funding shortfall of £1.1 million a year. Plans for the new hospital have now been shelved.
