Organisational structure
The structure of our organisation plays an important role in our effectiveness.
We are governed by a Trust Board which meets every two months, minutes from the meetings and board papers are published online.
The Trust board is accountable to the Council of Governors who are elected by our Foundation Trust members.
Our governors play a vital role in representing you and working with the Trust Board.
It is the trust’s duty to take steps to ensure that governors are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to discharge their duties appropriately. The directors will therefore need to make sure their trust has appropriate training arrangements in place both for new and existing governors, and that these are regularly reviewed and refreshed. Directors may opt to use outside training programmes or consultants to help fulfil this duty, but the overall responsibility remains with the trust.
We are led by a CEO and the Trust is split into the following directorates: People Services, Digital, Chief Executive, Operations, Paramedical, Medical, Finance, Quality and Nursing and Strategic Partnerships. For further information, please view our organistational charts.
