Staffordshire And Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust
Staffordshire and Stoke On Trent Partnership NHS Trust was the biggest integrated health and social care NHS organisation in England. It intended to become an NHS Foundation Trust, but it is not clear that the rules permitted a social care provider to do so. The Trust provided community health services and adult social care and runs Community Hospitals in Burslem (Haywood), Leek, Cheadle, Staffordshire, Longton, Staffordshire and Bradwell, Staffordshire and services in prisons. The Community Hospital is used either after a patient has been discharged from the University Hospital of North Staffordshire or to prevent them needing to go there in the first place. It was runner up at the Patient Experience Network Awards in the Friends and Family Test category in 2017. It merged with the South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust in 2018 forming a new organisation called Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

It closed the Margaret Stanhope Centre in Burton on Trent in 2012 and has been criticised for reducing mental health provision for the town. Castle Lodge, in Dawley has also been closed temporarily and that has provoked a review of mental health services in Telford. In March 2015, Hampshire County Council awarded the trust's Inclusion Drug Services a £41.3m contract for adult substance misuse services previously provided by Solent NHS Trust. Solent claimed there had been a serious error in the scoring of their bid. They entered into a procurement dispute.

COVID-19 Pandemic In England
The COVID-19 pandemic was first confirmed to have spread to England with two cases among Chinese nationals staying in a hotel in York on 31 January 2020. The two main public bodies responsible for health in England are NHS England and Public Health England (PHE). NHS England oversees the budget, planning, delivery and day-to-day operation of the commissioning side of the NHS in England, while PHE's mission is "to protect and improve the nation's health and to address inequalities". As of 14 September 2021, there have been 6,237,505 total cases and 117,955 deaths in England. In January 2021, it was estimated around 22% of people in England have had COVID-19. Healthcare in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is administered by the devolved governments, but there is no devolved government for England and so healthcare is the direct responsibility of the UK Government. As a result of each country having different policies and priorities, a variety of differences now exist betwe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Health In Staffordshire
Health, according to the World Health Organization, is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity".World Health Organization. (2006)''Constitution of the World Health Organization''– ''Basic Documents'', Forty-fifth edition, Supplement, October 2006. A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleep, and by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still, other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NHS Foundation Trusts
A foundation trust is a semi-autonomous organisational unit within the National Health Service in England. They have a degree of independence from the Department of Health and Social Care (and, until the abolition of SHAs in 2013, their local strategic health authority). As of March 2019 there were 151 foundation trusts. Inspiration Alan Milburn's trip in 2001 to the Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón in Spain is thought to have been influential in developing ideas around foundation status. That hospital was built by the Spanish National Health System, but its operational management is contracted out to a private company, and exempt from many of the rules normally imposed on state-owned hospitals, and in particular, that hospital was allowed to negotiate its own contracts with workers. The governance of that hospital includes local government, trade unions, health workers and community groups. History Foundation trusts were announced by Health Secretary Alan Milburn ...
