The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS Foundation Trust located in Sheffield, England. Founded in 2001 and awarded Foundation status in 2004, the trust covers Sheffield's two major adult hospitals, the Northern General Hospital and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, as well as the specialised Charles Clifford Dental, Jessop Wing and Weston Park hospitals. The chief executive of the trust is Kirsten Major, and the medical director is Dr David Throssell.

History

The origins of the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust can be traced back to the legislation under Section 5 of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, enacted by statutory order in October 1991, which transferred control of medical care in the Sheffield area over from the Sheffield Health Authority to four separate NHS trusts with effect from 1 November 1991: the Central Sheffield University Hospitals NHS Trust (covering the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, the Jessop Hospital for Women, Lodge Moor Hospital and Nether Edge Hospital); the Northern General Hospital NHS Trust; the Sheffield Children's NHS Trust; and the Weston Park Hospital NHS Trust.[1] The trusts came into full operation on 1 April 1992, at which point the Sheffield Health Authority was dissolved.

Lodge Moor Hospital closed in 1994, with its infectious diseases isolation section moving to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and treatment of chest and spinal injuries transferring to the Northern General Hospital.[2] That same year, the operation of Nether Edge Hospital was transferred to the newly-created Community Health Sheffield NHS Trust.[3] Charles Clifford Dental Hospital was integrated within the Central Sheffield University Hospitals NHS Trust in 1995.[1] On 1 April 1999, the Weston Park Hospital NHS Trust was merged into the Central Sheffield Universities NHS Trust, creating a major teaching hospital at the same time.[1] In 2001, the Jessop Hospital for Women was closed and operations were transferred to the new Jessop Wing hospital adjacent to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.[4]

The Central Sheffield University Hospitals NHS Trust and the Northern General Hospital NHS Trust were merged on 1 April 2001 to create the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, covering almost all major medical facilities in the city under a single trust.[1] On 1 July 2004, the new trust was granted Foundation status, becoming the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.[1]

Facilities

The organisation provides healthcare services for people in the Sheffield area and surrounding area of South Yorkshire and beyond. The trust provides a very wide range of specialities, and consists of two main parts.

  1. The Central Campus, consisting of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (a large acute hospital) together with its Jessop Wing (for fertility, women's health and care of newborn babies), Weston Park Hospital (a specialist cancer hospital) and the Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, all located between Broomhill and Broomhall in the West End. Areas of speciality covered include infectious diseases and tropical medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, urology and haematology.
  2. The Northern General Hospital, containing an accident and emergency department, located in the northern suburbs around Longley, Firth Park, Grimesthorpe and Shiregreen. Areas of speciality covered include plastic surgery, respiratory medicine, cardiology.

Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust is a separate organisation.

Besides being a major healthcare services provider, providing over 900,000 appointments and operations each year,[5] it also provides clinical education for medical students from the University of Sheffield. The Trust uses the Single Transferable Vote voting system to elect its Members' Council.[6]

The Trust and its hospitals have close links with the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University.

In 2013 it was asked to support Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust[7] as a result of the Keogh Review

In January 2015 the Trust announced a deal with HP Enterprise Services UK, Orion Health and Imprivata to give clinicians secure online access to patients' medical records, enabling "more joined up working between community, acute and primary care professionals".[8]

It is one of the biggest provider of specialised services in England, which generated an income of £295.9 million in 2014/5.[9]

Performance

The Trust was highlighted by NHS England as having 3 out of the 148 reported never events in England in the period from April to September 2013.[10]

The trust expects to finish 2015-16 with a deficit of more than £19 million as a result of changes to the NHS tariff.[11]

It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 13,112 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.49%. 78% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 70% recommended it as a place to work.[12]
