Who we are and what we do

Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust was formed on 1 April 2011 following the merger of Hampshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Hampshire Community Health Care.

 
How we fit into the NHS structure

We received Foundation Trust status in April 2009 under the name Hampshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. We are now one of the largest providers of mental health, learning disability, social care and community services in the country.

We are regulated by Monitor, the independent regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts. Monitor's role is to ensure that NHS Foundation Trusts comply with the conditions they signed up to, they are well-led and financially robust.

Information about the Trust, such as Finance and Risk Rating which can also be compared against other Trusts, can be found on their website.

Further information on how the Trust fits into the wider health economy is available via the Department of Health's Overview of Health and Care Structures factsheet.

Organisational Structure

The Trust is managed by a Board of Directors made up of 5 Executive Directors and 7 Non-Executive Directors. The Board is led by the Chair.

Each member of the Board has a profile that can be viewed to give you further information and also their key responsibilities.

The organisation structure of our Executive Directors identifies how the leadership of the Trust is set up and managed.

Organisations the Trust works in partnership with

We are a secondary healthcare provider for local and regional commissioners such as University Hospital Southampton, NHS Portsmouth and NHS Hampshire.

The Trust's services are sometimes provided in partnership with non-NHS organisations, for example we work closely with local authorities to provide Adult Mental Health and Learning Disability Services.
