Our Trust has published the findings of an external, developmental ‘well led’ review, which we commissioned from Niche Health and Social Care Consulting. The review is part of the regular rhythm of assurance, to provide an independent view of how leadership is working throughout the organisation.
The Niche report, which the Trust has chosen to publish in full, offers a balanced picture of where the Trust currently stands, four years on from the merger that brought us together, during the Covid pandemic.
There are numerous findings which provide challenge and insight into where the Executive and the Board must focus efforts to deliver improvements. There is also recognition of the extent of the difficulties faced post-merger, and the tangible progress which has been made against many areas of performance, culture, and organisation.
Acting chief executive Dr Andy Heeps said: “We have accepted all the recommendations, and we are already working to respond to them. But we will go further. Our new strategy will set out how we will develop better leadership and culture across our hospitals. This Trust has massive potential, and we want to work with our colleagues to realise that potential.”
