There are three clinical divisions, Medicine, Surgery and Family and Specialist Services, supported by two additional divisions, Corporate Services and Estates & Facilities. Each Clinical Division is led by a senior management team, consisting of a Divisional Director, Divisional Director of Operations and a Divisional Director of Nursing. Each also has a Clinical Governance Lead in the senior divisional team. Anaesthesia, ICM and pain services sit within the division of surgery.

The senior management team meets with other divisional colleagues to discuss both operational and strategic issues for the specialities within the division.

Operational management decisions are made by the Management Board which consists of the executive directors and representatives from the three divisions.

The hospital is managed by a Trust board, which consists of a chair, six non-executive directors and eight executive directors. The day-to-day management of the hospital is the responsibility of the chief executive assisted by the executive directors, and supported by the three clinical divisions.
