Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust

Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust operates Salford Royal Hospital. It is one of the top performing trusts in the United Kingdom.[1][2][3][4]

In December 2017 it was announced that the Trust was to form a new healthcare organisation by combining with Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. The new organisation, to be called the Northern Care Alliance NHS Group will have 17,000 staff, and a combined operating budget of £1.3bn covering Oldham, Bury and Rochdale, Salford and North Manchester.[5]

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 6,219 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.42%. 87% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 71% recommended it as a place to work.[6] After an inspection in August 2015 the trust was one of only three in England rated "outstanding" by the Care Quality Commission.[7] It was rated as having the highest index of digital maturity of any organisation in the English NHS in April 2016.[8]

Sir David Dalton is the Group Chief Executive.

In July 2016 it is to initiate an integrated care organisation which will include 440 adult social care staff transferred from the City of Salford. It will manage social care. Mental health services will be provided by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust but Salford will manage the contract. It is hoped that this will deliver £36 million a year in savings by 2021, largely by reducing hospital admissions, cutting management costs and removing duplication.[9]

In September 2016, the trust was selected by NHS England as one of twelve Global Digital Exemplars.[10] It uses an Allscripts electronic patient record system which is being adopted by other NHS organisations nearby.[11] It plans to move its electronic patient records on to Microsoft Azure by March 2018.[12]
