Products and brands

Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is a widely dispersed organisation with clinical services at several locations across the whole of the Royal County of Berkshire.

Services at the trust are broadly divided into three provision areas; Adult Community and Mental Health, Children, Young People, and Families (CYPF), and Talking Therapies.

The majority of community mental health services are aligned with the six unitary authorities of Berkshire of Slough Borough Council; Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead; Bracknell Forest Borough Council; Wokingham Borough Council; Reading Borough Council and West Berkshire District Council. Each unitary authority area has its own Community Mental Health Team which provides teams of social service and health workers providing a joined up care and support to those in need of mental health support in those locations.

Inpatient services are provided in four locations across the Royal County of Berkshire: St Mark's Hospital in Maidenhead; Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, Berkshire; Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot, Berkshire; and Prospect Park Hospital in Reading, Berkshire.

Buckinghamshire, Berkshire East and Berkshire West primary care trusts produced a strategy document, called Care for the Future in August 2011 in which it was proposed to develop community services and reduce hospital provision in the area.

In December 2013 it was announced that the Charles Ward in St Mark's Hospital in Maidenhead would be moved to Prospect Park Hospital in January 2013.

In June 2015 the trust took over a GP practice run by Specialist Health Services in Priory Avenue, Reading, Berkshire which had been condemned by the Care Quality Commission as inadequate. It had been placed in Special measures but the CQC pronounced it much improved in October 2015.

In March 2020 the trust received an overall rating of 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission.
