Where your needs always come first
What makes Buckinghamshire Healthcare different is their pledge to ensure that ‘your needs always come first’. This is embodied in their promises to provide you with clean and safe practice, clinics and hospitals, a caring and helpful attitude, respect for your time, good access to comfortable modern facilities, and of course the best clinical care from teams of skilled healthcare professionals.
Strong local partnerships
The Buckinghamshire Health Community is located within the boundaries of South Central Strategic Health Authority.
Buckinghamshire Primary Care Trust is Buckinghamshire Healthcare's lead commissioner, accounting for more than 60% of the Trust’s income. The two NHS organisations are co-terminus with the local authority, Buckinghamshire County Council, which facilitates comprehensive partnership arrangements and joint planning.
A good example of partnership working is the Local Safeguarding Childrens Board which is hosted by Bucks County Council. You can see their joint website here.
The website brings together information for children, young people and their families, as well as the professionals who work with them. It also provides an overview of the role and scope of the Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Board.
