Our structure

We are a Foundation Trust and our decisions are made by the board of directors and overseen by our council of governors.

As a foundation trust, we are:

Board of directors

The hospital management is led by the board of directors. They are responsible for all operational and strategic issues, business and finance. Board meetings are held in public six times a year.

The leadership of each of our five clinical divisions report to the board. They are responsible for the operational management within their areas.

Governors

The Council of Governors represents our 19,500 Trust members, including patients, the public, and staff. Most governors are elected by the members. They help link us to the local community and represent the views of members and the public in how the Trust is run and developed.
