We deliver around 2 million patients and service users attendances to the residents of Birmingham, as well as services in the wider West Midlands from five clinical divisions.<br/><br/>BCHC operates from over 300 sites across Birmingham and the West Midlands providing care for people throughout their lives from the new-born and their families to the frail elderly and their carers. The services we provide are diverse; from healthy lifestyle services that support people to feel well to the most complex healthcare for those with highly specialist needs. We provide care in people’s homes and also in clinics and inpatient units across the city. We deliver all of this with a commitment to integrated, personalised care to meet the needs of our diverse local communities. Whilst we provide all of these services, much of the care we provide is delivered in partnership with primary care, social care, community mental health teams, acute hospitals and the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector. We are also a major organisation for training and teaching.
