Get involved

Becoming a Foundation Trust is  important to us and we've decided to relaunch our consultation process. The new consultation period runs from 10 April to 3 July 2012.

We first went out to public consultation, we gained a good response to a series of questions about how we should organise our membership processes. Now we're closer to submitting our application, we've decided to refresh our consultation.

 

During 2012, we want to review our service delivery model and our operating strategy. This will ensure that we as are efficient and effective as we can be to deliver high quality, patient focused services through our new model, our workforce and our estate.

 

We hope  you will share your views with us. You can do this by answering the questions contained in our full consultation document or the summary (see right).

   

If you'd like to give us your feedback and / or become a Foundation Trust member you can do so by clicking here, printing off the form that opens up and following the instructions. 

 

You can also give your feedback on-line (see link on the right)

What is an NHS Foundation Trust?

An NHS Foundation Trust is a new form of NHS organisation with greater freedom from government control so it can better meet the needs of local communities - making real progress through local control. It remains part of the NHS and is subject to NHS standards, providing care paid for by the taxpayer, to NHS patients.

  

Why become an NHS Foundation Trust?

NHS Foundation Trust status will provide EMAS with a number of benefits:

  

Local influence

Having a membership open to local people and our staff means that you can influence and shape what we do and how we do it. In this way we can do what is right for local people.

 

Greater control

We will have the freedom to invest surplus funds where they are most needed.

  

Brighter future

We will be able to plan for a longer period – 5 years plus – so we can be more confident in how we will develop for patients, giving us a clear direction of travel for the organisation.
