Foundation Trusts

All NHS Trusts are being encouraged to apply for Foundation Trust Status. In order to maximise the opportunities that this new regime will create, trusts need to ensure they are capable of meeting the challenges that lie ahead.

Through our work with a number of early foundation trusts we can provide expertise and solutions to help you meet some of these challenges. These include: 

• Establishing effective Governance Arrangements
  • Production of a Governance Manual
  • Constitution
  • Advice / guidance on structures and reporting arrangements
    
    
• Developing the Board
  • Board competency / skills assessment
  • Roles and responsibilities
    
    
• IM & T Assurance Support
  • See IM & T section
    
    
• Best practice financial reporting
