Description
Serving a combined population of well over 1.2 million people, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLaG) deliver a range of acute, community and specialist services to the populations of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. With a combined turnover of over £1.1 billion, they employ over 16,000 staff in total, and have a firm commitment to working in partnership with each other.
NLaG’s 6,800 staff deliver services from 3 major hospitals, as well as a range of services in the community, and the Trust continues to make progress on its improvement journey. Set to embark on an £130 million capital funding programme to overhaul their estate, they are currently building two new A&Es, investing £40 million in a greener future, and investing in critical infrastructure such as diagnostics.
With 9,600 staff, HUTH deliver a range of secondary care services to over 600,000 people, with specialist services being provided to almost 1.25million people. With a strong research and innovation agenda, they have an aspiration to be a research centre of excellence, and are proud of their strong links to Hull University.
Both organisations have ambitious plans for their local communities, and we are committed to delivering more together for the populations we serve. There have been a variety of impressive joint projects in recent years, ranging from the delivery of the Humber Acute Service programme, through to the joint capital bid for £700 million investment in their combined estates.
The joint Chair appointment reflects this partnership and drive for collaboration, harnessing the best of both organisations to drive innovation and efficiencies to improve outcomes for patients across the region. It allows us to work towards one vision, a vision to provide the best possible care together across the whole of the Humber region, improving the sustainability of services and providing greater service capacity.
Working with both Chief Executives, the joint Chair will identify opportunities for sharing best practice and innovation, creating new clinical pathways and the delivery of integrated non-clinical services. Chairing each Trust’s board separately, they will form the common link bridging the two organisations, ensuring that all joint working is underpinned with robust governance and an effective shared vision.
If you are an experienced and collaborative board leader, able to match our drive and determination to improve outcomes for local populations across the region, then we would love to hear from you.
