About Us

Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CFT) is an NHS community and mental health provider trust. We support the health and wellbeing of over 570,000 local people who call Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly home, with demand for our services inevitably increasing during holiday periods. Our care is delivered to people at home, in the community and in hospital - we operate from 100 sites with clinical teams working across four operational service lines. We have an enthusiastic and passionate workforce of over 4,500 people, who are all dedicated to delivering our vision of Outstanding Care for All. Our culture and values place people at the heart of everything we do.

Whilst we are proud of the journey we have taken in recent years and our commitment to realising improvement, we do not underestimate the scale of the challenges ahead for us. We are currently rated as Requires Improvement by the Care Quality Commission and action plans are progressing to address the Regulator s findings from its most recent inspections in 2022. Yet we also recognise the hard work and dedication that runs throughout our teams we were pleased that the CQC recognised the care given to our patients resulting in a rating of outstanding for caring . Our focus remains on great care and ensuring that our services are delivered safely and to a high quality, and our staff have enjoyable, safe and fulfilling work lives. To achieve this, we are developing ever closer working with health and care services alongside our partners in the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care System (ICS) in order to provide the very best outcomes for our population.
