Overview
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) was formed in 2017 following the merger of Central Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (CMFT) and the University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust (UHSM).

This is an exciting and challenging period in the delivery of health and social care in Manchester with opportunities to make a real difference.
