Constitution

The Trust Constitution (PDF, 1 MB) sets out who is eligible for membership of the Trust and how our governors and directors are appointed. It also defines their roles and powers. Our constitution is not currently accessible to people who use assistive technology. We are working on a deadline of 31 January 2024 to fix this.

The NHS is founded on a common set of principles and values that bind together the communities and people it serves, patients and public, and the staff who work for it.

The NHS Constitution establishes the principles and values of the NHS in England. It sets out rights to which patients, public and staff are entitled, and pledges which the NHS is committed to achieve, together with responsibilities, which the public, patients and staff owe to one another to ensure that the NHS operates fairly and effectively.

NHS provider licence

The NHS Provider Licence contains important conditions for providers of NHS services.

These conditions help ensure the health sector works for the benefit of patients by:

  • setting prices for NHS-funded care in partnership with NHS England
  • enabling integrated care
  • preventing anti-competitive behaviour that is against the interests of patients
  • supporting NHS commissioners in maintaining service continuity
  • overseeing the way NHS foundation trusts are governed
