About Us

What we do

Peninsula Community Health is an independent, not-for-profit Community Interest Company. We provide NHS adult community health services to local people in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.

Our background

Peninsula Community Health was formed on 01 October 2011 as a separate not-for-profit service provider, to the commissioning organisation, NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. Although we are now run independently for the benefit of the community, we are still the same people, delivering the same service as we were when we were known as NHS Community Health Services.

We now work as part of the NHS family in a similar way to GPs, Dentists and Pharmacies and continue to provide the same high quality services as before.

Our vision: Quality care, closer to you…

We want to improve the lives of local people and minimise the need for acute care in hospital through early interventions, increased patient choice and developing the delivery of care closer to, or in patients’ homes.

We aim to

• Put patient safety and care at the heart of what we do by providing quality community healthcare services which meet need and benefit the community
• Lead, grow and develop a socially responsible and financially sustainable community business
• Engage and empower employees to create a vibrant and inspiring workplace in which staff are proud to work, where innovation is encouraged, and staff participate in the growth and development of the company
