Policies formerly in place within Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) and North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust (NCUH) that are relevant to North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) have been adopted by NCIC. 

As part of the merger process, all policies have been reviewed and rebranded as NCIC policies or are going through that process.

Policies currently under review, and signposting on who to contact for advice in the event of queries, are noted in the policy details section.
