Better Care Together

Last updated: Thursday 23 October 2025

Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BCH) and Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WHH) are joining forces and integrating our community and hospital services.

We are working towards becoming one single organisation in April 2026.

Until we become one organisation we have a temporary partnership name, North Cheshire and Mersey Healthcare Partnership, which is used in limited circumstances to show how we are working more closely together.

This is an exciting opportunity to really make things better for our patients and our staff, while also making our services stronger and more resilient.

The ‘Better Care Together: A case for change’ document outlines the benefits of coming together as one single organisation for our partners and commissioners.
