Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opened in October this year and provides care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH. If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continue your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We Have Three Strategic Objectives:
Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive, and engaged staff Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
