Introduction

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is looking to the future. We are proud of the reputation we have established and the central role we play as a provider of high quality healthcare in Nottingham and beyond. Now we want to take healthcare, teaching and research to a new level for all our patients, partners and staff.

We have a clear vision of our future. Quite simply, we want to be the best in the country. We want to build on our achievements as a high performing, forward-thinking organisation, providing easily accessible, quality healthcare to people in greater Nottingham, the East Midlands and beyond.

We have recently celebrated 60 years of the National Health Service. The next step is for us to achieve NHS Foundation Trust status. We believe that this will help us to harness the commitment, passion and hard work of all our staff, volunteers and partners. It will also provide our patients and the wider public with greater opportunities to be more involved in their local NHS.

NHS Foundation Trusts are a new type of NHS organisation with commitment to NHS standards of care and service. As an NHS Foundation Trust we will provide local people with a stronger voice. The general public, patients, carers and staff can all become members of the Trust, stand for election as its Governors and have a real say in how it is run.

We encourage you to find out more about our membership proposals and consider how you can get involved in helping shape our future.

Best wishes,

Foundation Trust Members Target 14,000.
