  2. North east Essex

  3. What do you say? We are seeking your views on our plans to be the health care provider of choice for north east Essex by becoming an NHS Foundation Trust

  4. In this session we’ll explain… • Our vision • The benefits of NHS Foundation Trusts • Our timetable • How you can have a direct influence

  5. Our vision • People who use our hospital services will recommend us to their family and friends because: • their needs and experiences are reflected in everything we do • our patients receive care that is safe, effective and accessible • the care we give fulfils the NHS Standards for Better Health.

  6. Our strategy • To place the patient at the centre, based on principles of: • Safety • Sustainability • Accountability • within an ever-learning environment.

  7. So why now? • FTs are at the cutting edge of the decentralisation of public services and the creation of a patient-led NHS. • FTs are more responsive to the needs of local people.

  8. With real benefits • Local flexibility to tailor new governance arrangements to the individual circumstances of our community • Freedom to invest surpluses and access capital to enhance services • Support patient choice.  • Directlyaccountable to Monitor

  9. How do FTs do this? • FTs have an elected Members Council consisting of public and staff. This works closely with Board of Directors: • to influence decision-making • to influence strategic planning.

  10. Members Council • Our Members Council will comprise: • 13 members of the public living in NE Essex • five members of staff representing different professions and occupations within the Trust • five representatives from partner organisations. • Our Board of Directors will comprise: • Chairman • Non-Executive Directors • Executive Directors.

  11. Benefits for members • Members will have a say on how the Trust develops its services • Members will decide who the governors are.

  12. Change of name • As an NHS Foundation Trust, Essex Rivers Healthcare NHS Trust will still be part of the NHS. • We want to change our name to reflect where we are and what we do. Colchester Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust

  13. We have to change the name • In the 2004 consultation nearly all respondents agreed with the change • ‘Colchester’ gives a far better geographical identity than ‘Essex Rivers’ • ‘Hospital’ is a very strong identifier • ‘University’ is dependent on gaining Associate University status in the autumn

  14. Top 10 Google search term • 63% of people searching for our website use the term ‘Colchester’ or ‘Hospital’.

  15. Timetable • 6 Sept: Consultation ends • Oct: Submission to Dept of Health • Dec: Secretary of State decision • Jan 2008: Submission to Monitor CommenceGovernor elections • Apr 2008: Monitor approve application?

  16. Public Consultation • A 12-week consultation period to seek views and comments from local people, staff and local organisations • Consultation runs until Thursday 6 September 2007.

  17. How can you get involved? • Spread the word, tell us what you think, and until 6 September: • Read the summary consultation leaflet • Answer our survey – online or on paper • Register to become a member.
