We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving the quality of health services.
They are part of the NHS, yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members, patients, staff, and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community's needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
To work within the NMC code of professional practice, and within policies, procedures, and guidelines of Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Trust.
To ensure that high standards of nursing care are given and maintained, and to act when standards are not being maintained.
