We are committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our employees.

Healthier Futures
As part of the national New Hospital Programme, Leighton Hospital is being reimagined and new land has been secured to build without the barriers of what’s been before to develop a new health and care neighbourhood, which will include our new Leighton Hospital in Crewe. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change how healthcare is delivered, describing how each of us can play our part in creating the best, Healthier Future. You can find out more at our dedicated Healthier Futures website.
