As of October 2023, there are approximately 223 NHS Trusts in the UK. These include various types, such as acute, mental health, and community trusts, each responsible for delivering specific healthcare services. The number may vary slightly due to organizational changes or restructuring within the NHS.

The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is structured into four main components: NHS England, NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, and Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland, each responsible for healthcare delivery in their respective regions. NHS England oversees the majority of healthcare services, funding, and performance across England. Local NHS organizations, including trusts and clinical commissioning groups, manage hospitals, primary care, and community services. The NHS operates under a framework of public accountability, with oversight from government bodies and regulatory agencies to ensure quality and efficiency in care delivery.
One can find more information about primary care trusts from: NHS Choices, The Age UK, Primary Care trust Directory, Red Bridge, Binleys, Guardian, Saga.
I recommend that you see the art therapy departments of local NHS trusts and Prison and Special Hospitals, special needs schools and hospices in your area.
NHS email is the national email and directory service available to NHS staff in England and Scotland. The requirements to get an NHS email include being an employee working for NHS.
