Creating the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust
Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) brings together staff and services from Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust and The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. We are now one of the largest NHS providers in the country, working together as a group since 2016 and formally established on 1 October 2021.
Who are we?
Our dedicated team of around 20,000 staff – our NCA Family – delivers healthcare excellence to over one million people across Salford, Oldham, Rochdale and Bury, as well as providing more specialist services to patients from Greater Manchester and beyond.
Patients and service users may receive a range of integrated health and social care services at their home or in their community or be treated and cared for in one of our four hospitals – Salford Royal Hospital, The Royal Oldham Hospital, Rochdale Infirmary or Fairfield General Hospital in Bury. Our aim is to deliver consistently high standards of care to them all.
NCA works to save lives and improve lives. By joining forces with the partner organisations who share our values, we’re committed to enhancing the health of our local communities.
We also ensure we have the right people with the right skills in place to continuously improve the way people receive care, enabling resources, skills and expertise to be shared in the best possible way.
This means, no matter where people are treated, our aim is that they’ll experience the same high standard of safe, reliable, compassionate care.
