Providing primary health care services in and out of hours to the population of Cumbria.
For emergencies call 999
For out of hours healthcare call 111
We are proud to be a trusted healthcare provider, formerly known as CHoC, delivering primary health care services within and out of hours to the population of Cumbria and beyond.
As the Chief Executive of Cumbria Health, I am incredibly proud to lead a dedicated team of healthcare professionals who are committed to providing exceptional primary care services to our communities across Cumbria.
Our journey began with out-of-hours urgent care, which remains the engine room of our organisation. We take immense pride in the vital role this service continues to play, ensuring that urgent care is always available when our patients need it most. This commitment to providing accessible, timely care has shaped who we are today, and it remains at the core of our values.
At Cumbria Health our values, which are displayed above, are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in collaboration and partnership, working closely with our patients, local communities, other healthcare providers, and key stakeholders to ensure we deliver the best possible care. By engaging with everyone involved, we create services that truly reflect and respond to local needs. Our partnerships are broad, and include soon launching a multidisciplinary health hub in Whitehaven, which will bring together specialists from various fields to offer comprehensive care under one roof. Additionally, we are collaborating with local councils to introduce workplace health checks across Cumbria, bringing essential health services directly to people where they work.
This spirit of collaboration is essential as we continue to deliver innovative solutions, such as our BP@Home service, which allows people to remain safely monitored at home. We strive for High Standards and excellence in everything we do, ensuring that care is accessible, efficient, and centered around the needs of our communities.
Recently, we opened a new dental access centre at our headquarters in Carlisle, providing crucial emergency dental care to patients who struggle to access it. This service is available via 111, further strengthening our commitment to meeting urgent local needs.
Please take the time to explore our website and discover the full range of services we offer. We welcome your feedback and are committed to continuously improving how we care for you and your family.
