Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a National Health Service (NHS) foundation trust that operates several hospitals in Bedfordshire, England. The trust was established to manage and provide healthcare services to the residents of Bedfordshire and surrounding areas.
History[edit | edit source]
The Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was formed in April 2020, following the merger of two existing NHS trusts: Bedford Hospital NHS Trust and Luton and Dunstable University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The merger aimed to improve the quality of healthcare services and patient experience across Bedfordshire.
Services[edit | edit source]
The trust provides a wide range of healthcare services, including emergency care, maternity services, paediatrics, and surgical services. It also offers specialized services such as cardiology, neurology, and oncology.
Hospitals[edit | edit source]
The trust operates two main hospitals:
- Bedford Hospital: Located in Bedford, this hospital provides a comprehensive range of acute services, including accident and emergency, maternity, and surgical services.
- Luton and Dunstable University Hospital: This hospital, located in Luton, is a general hospital providing a wide range of services, including emergency and elective surgery, and specialist services for complex conditions.
Governance[edit | edit source]
The trust is governed by a Board of Directors that includes both executive and non-executive directors. The board is responsible for setting the trust's strategic direction and ensuring it delivers high-quality, safe, and effective healthcare services.
Performance[edit | edit source]
The trust's performance is regularly assessed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care services in England. The CQC's assessments focus on the safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness, and leadership of the trust's services.
