Our four Trusts work together through the CAP, recognising that we
are stronger together and that the challenges we face cannot be
addressed by one Trust alone.

By focusing our collective efforts and
resources we can address health inequalities and seek to deliver our
services together in the most effective and efficient way.

Watch video below for an explanation of how CAP is working
across Humber and North Yorkshire including the different
levels of collaboration.

Presented by Jonathan Lofthouse, Group Chief Executive of HUTH and NLaG.

Our Collaborative comprises

  • Quality and Safety – to deliver, together, the highest quality services across our four Trusts, focusing on the patient and on reducing unwarranted variation, so all can access the same levels of care, wherever they live.

  • Transformation and Innovation – to transform services to ensure the safest, most effective and most efficient care within the resources available.

  • Collaboration and Partnership – to be excellent partners in our health and care systems and to collaborative where collaboration will bring benefits to patients and staff ensuring the best use of resources.

  • Social Responsibility – to play our full part in reducing health inequalities within Humber and North Yorkshire, and to optimise our impact as Anchor Institutions and a major employer in the communities we serve.
