NHS Cumbria Primary Care Trust

Locality teams

Cumbria is a large County which includes areas with significant differences – from urban conurbations such as Carlisle, Barrow, Whitehaven and Workington to the sparsely populated rural areas of South Lakeland and the Eden Valley.

We therefore believe that community health services should be developed based on the six district council areas – Allerdale, Copeland, Eden, Carlisle, Barrow and South Lakeland. We have put in place locality teams to cover each of these areas, led by a health professional, usually a GP.

Newsletters & briefings

Each area is in the process of producing a newsletter or briefing to keep you up to date on developments:
