The experience of becoming an NHS Foundation Trust – implications for Facilities Management Kevan Taylor Chief Executive Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust
Today’s discussion • What’s different about being an FT • The impact on the Organisation • Some specifics for Facilities Management • Opportunities for yourselves…….
What’s different about being an FT • Membership based organisation • Members • Council of Governors • Independently regulated • Financially viable with financial flexibilities • Well governed • Operating in a “commercial” environment
Impact on the Trust • BIG ! • Root and branch overhaul of finance and governance • Affects the Gardeners! • 18 month Board obsession
Impact on the Trust - continued • Stronger managerial grip • Clear financial plan • Clear service plan • Clear Estate and FM plan • More business focussed culture • Beginnings of real engagement with Governors and members
Some FM specifics • The Board is suddenly very interested in what you do • The value of property and property management becomes very real • Quality of environments and facilities management crucial to business success • Particular benefits from financial flexibilities • You will be a target for efficiencies and income generation
Opportunities for yourselves…... • The Bushel has been nicked……..check your lights • Understand the wider context and exploit it • You have skills and experience (contracts, procurement, project management, capital planning etc.) that everyone wants • Explain to the CEO and Board just how much you can help them…………….
