Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides acute healthcare services to a population of around 420,000 across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. The Trust operates across three main hospital sites: King's Mill Hospital, Newark Hospital, and Mansfield Community Hospital.
Our vision is to deliver outstanding care to our patients and communities.
