Gloucestershire County Council provides a wide range of public services to improve the quality of life for Gloucestershire people. They aim to make our communities safer, support communities and vulnerable people, ensure every child thrives and reaches their potential, make transport work and manage our environment and economy.

NHS Gloucestershire is ambitious in the pursuit of excellence in health. The organisation serves a population of approximately 602,000 people and covers the following district council areas: Cotswold, Cheltenham, Forest of Dean, Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Stroud. NHS Gloucestershire works in partnership to improve public health - this means supporting us all to choose healthier lifestyles. It is also responsible for buying high quality healthcare for local people from a range of providers and supporting local GP Practices to meet the needs of their local communities.

²gether NHS Foundation Trust aims to enable people to achieve recovery and improve their lives, through the provision of high quality, cost effective services in the areas of mental health, substance misuse and developmental disability. NHS Foundation Trusts are part of the NHS and treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is that they are run locally, not by Government, and work closely with their community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.
