range of specialist mental health services to nearly 800,000 people
from all age ranges across Norfolk and the Waveney area of Suffolk.

Many of our services, especially in-patient services, are centred
around the city of Norwich and the coastal towns of Great Yarmouth
and Lowestoft. However, our staff also provide a range of services
in a variety of settings and community locations throughout the
catchment area. This reflects the complexity of the services we
provide and the urban and rural nature of the locality.
We work in partnership with other statutory and non-statutory
bodies that provide services to people suffering mental ill health,
and as a partnership Trust we also provide integrated health and
social care services.
At any one time 14,000 people are receiving care and attention
