  About us

  Since October 2019, we have been empowering our clinicians to make the decisions around how we allocate our resources and deliver care - supported by the wealth of experience and professional knowledge that exists within our operational, estates, human resources and other administrative and support teams.

  We have done this through our Clinical Policy Group (CPG) which draws its membership from our clinical directors, nursing and allied health professional leaders, chief medical officer, executive team, operational managers, chairs of staff-side, our senior medical staff forum, and our BMA representative.

  Our CPG has created ten clinically-led improvement collaboratives (service groups) - natural care communities of surgeons, physicians, nurses, midwives, scientists, allied health professionals and administrative and support colleagues, which have come together to make their services even better for our patients.

  At the heart of our clinical collaboratives is our Leadership Improvement and Safety Academy which encompasses our patient safety faculty and provides a range of support, including leadership and management training, quality improvement skills, team and service support, coaching and human factors training.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
