Our Boards

NHS South of Tyne and Wear covers Gateshead Primary Care Trust (PCT), South Tyneside Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Sunderland Teaching Primary Care Trust (TPCT) and is the name given to the integrated management arrangement which exists across the three PCTs. This means that, whilst each PCT remains a statutory organisation in its own right, the day-to-day management of the PCTs has been brought together under a single management team. Members of that integrated management team serve as officers on NHS South of Tyne and Wear PCT Cluster Board.
