    About us

    North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust is a clinically led organisation where our clinicians define the strategic priorities. It was formed in October 2019 following integration of acute and community services. Our vision is to build a new integrated health and care system.

    We provide acute hospital services at both the Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital, including pediatrics, obstetrics and A&E services. We provide a midwifery-led maternity service at Penrith Community Hospital. We also support a wide range of clinical and diagnostic services located in nine community hospitals across North Cumbria.

    We are embedded into our community, serving a population of 320,000 people living across North Cumbria, parts of Northumberland and Southern Scotland. Carlisle benefits from good road and rail links to Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle and London. However, we also serve remote and rural communities spread over a wide geographical area including the Lake District National Park, Solway Coast, and North Pennines. Housing is affordable and the local schools are excellent.

    Imperial College London and the University of Cumbria in collaboration with NCIC are establishing the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine, a graduate entry medical school with the first intake starting in August 2025. Imperial College have also committed to investing in a Cumbrian research hub to increase the volume of clinical research in the region.
