About us Minimize  

We are a partnership organisation providing mental health and specialist learning disability services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and children's community services in Peterborough.

CPFT is also a member of Cambridge University Health Partners (CUHP), one of only five Academic Health Science Centres in England - a new organisation that has been set up to drive forward the partnership between the NHS and the University of Cambridge.

We have about 2,500 staff working across 75 sites in Cambridge, Huntingdon, Peterborough and Fenland. We provide services for older people, children and adolescents, adults, primary care, learning disabilities, substance misuse and forensics. We have an annual income of more than £100 million and our services cover an area of 1400 square miles.

We also provide some specialist services on a regional and national basis. Our partners are Cambridgeshire County Council, Peterborough City Council, NHS Cambridgeshire and NHS Peterborough. We are a teaching Trust with a Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge. We aim to provide high-quality services that support individuals and their families to receive best practice care and treatment, and to achieve whole life.

NHS Constitution staff pledge

The pledges to NHS staff reaffirm the vision that quality workplaces should exist for all staff delivering NHS services – they should not just be the preserve of high-performing organisations. This is important, since the evidence suggests that there is a clear connection between the experiences of patients and staff.

The pledges are made by all employers that provide NHS services, and are made to all staff that deliver NHS care, both professional and non-professional.

The pledges are not legally binding but represent a commitment by the NHS to provide high-quality working environments for staff.

  • The NHS commits to provide all staff with clear roles and responsibilities and rewarding jobs for teams and individuals that make a difference to patients, their families and carers and communities.
  • The NHS commits to provide all staff with personal development, access to appropriate training for their jobs and line management support to succeed.
  • The NHS commits to provide support and opportunities for staff to maintain their health, well-being and safety.
  • The NHS commits to engage staff in decisions that affect them and the services they provide, individually, through representative organisations and through local partnership working arrangements. All staff will be empowered to put forward ways to deliver better and safer services for patients and their families.
