If you've had experience of using our services and would like to make a comment then please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS). Your views are very important to us and we would like to hear where you think improvements are needed or where things have gone so well that you would like to share your thanks or gratitude with the staff involved. When things have not gone so well then you can be sure that we want to hear from you, so please get in touch with PALS.
During your stay in hospital you will meet a number of different members of staff. All members of staff wear name badges, but if you are not sure who someone is or what they do, please feel free to ask them to introduce themselves and explain what they do.
If you have any questions about your treatment, please ask a doctor or a nurse.
There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved with the Trust, from volunteering to attending our public meetings, our Annual General Meeting or our hospital open day which is held every year.
We welcome and value your feedback and use the views you share with us in a number of ways to learn and make improvements as well as sharing best practice. Feedback can be provided in a number of ways.

We have five clinical divisions reporting directly into our Executive Team
The divisional structure was introduced in 2018 alongside our Trust Strategy, "Working Together". The structure is designed to support the delivery of our strategy and ensure we provide the best possible care for our patients and the communities we serve
We are a clinically-led organisation, each division is led by a clinician as divisional director, with overall responsibility for their division. The divisional directors are supported by a leadership team including an operations director, a nursing/allied health professions director and business partners for finance and human resources.
Each leadership team is accountable for the quality, performance and financial sustainability of their division and responsible for working together across the other divisions to ensure our strategy is delivered and that we sustain further improvements for our patients.
The Trust Leadership Team, which includes both executive directors and divisional directors, ensures good governance across the organisation.
We have made significant investments in development opportunities to enable our staff to be the best they can be, helping to ensure our patients receive the right care from the best people. Our 90 most senior leaders have taken part in a bespoke development programme aligned to our three-year Culture Change Programme and underpinned by our Trust Strategy and values.. This programme of work is about how we develop a compassionate and inclusive leadership approach to support the delivery of our strategy. Further plans are underway to continue the development of all staff in leadership roles, in the years ahead.
We also offer a range of management and leadership skills development workshops and access to the NHS Leadership Academy’s programmes.
