The clinical services at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are grouped into ten clinically-led collaboratives – natural care communities of surgeons, physicians, nurses, midwives, scientists, allied health professionals and administrative and support services.
Each collaborative is headed by a clinical collaborative chair and a clinical lead, practicing clinicians who are supported by a senior manager.
