East Cheshire NHS Trust runs Congleton War Memorial Hospital, Knutsford and District Community Hospital and Macclesfield District General Hospital, in Cheshire, England. It provides both acute hospital services and community services.

Macclesfield District General Hospital was purpose built in the early 1980s replacing a much older traditional infirmary. Congleton War Memorial Hospital opened in 1924, paid for by public subscription after years of fundraising by local people as a memorial to those who died in the first world war. Knutsford Community Hospital was refurbished in 1996.

In April 2012 it made an unsuccessful bid to be become an NHS Foundation Trust.[1]

The Casualty Department in Macclesfield has been under threat for some years, but in August 2013 it was said to be under no immediate threat.[2]

The Trust has a contract with Arvato services for human resource services. 60 of the trust's staff were transferred to Arvato in 2013. [3]

The Trust gained a contract for sexual health services when Cheshire West and Chester Council decided to transfer it from Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in December 2014.[4]

It spent £1.7 million on agency staff in 2014/5.[5]
