We have high ambitions and are committed to delivering more together for the populations we serve. In the spirit of greater collaboration, following a number of years of joint working, the two trusts have taken the decision to move to a Group model, meaning that our two organisations remain separate, so they can represent their communities effectively, but enables the trusts to work at scale to take strategic decisions, which benefit the group as a whole and will deliver better outcomes for our patients, staff and the wider population.
