NHS foundation trusts are semi-autonomous organisational units within the National Health Service in England. They have a degree of independence from the Department of Health (and, until the abolition of SHAs in 2013, their local strategic health authority). As of March 2014 there were 147 NHS 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. The 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, the hospital was allowed to negotiate its own contracts with workers. The governance of the hospital includes local government, trade unions, health workers and community groups.
History
Foundation trusts were announced by Health SecretaryAlan Milburn in 2002. The first 10 NHS hospitals to become foundation trusts were announced in 2004.Gordon Brown prevented plans by Alan Milburn that they should be financially autonomous in 2002. By the end of 2012, the Monitor website listed 144 Foundation Trusts.

Local Accreditation at Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust
The accreditation scheme in Gateshead provides wards with a set of quality and safety standards, which are assessed at annual assessment days. The assessment panel reviews the ward or department based on an assurance framework, which was developed through the Trust’s Nursing and Midwifery Strategy. The four key ambitions within this framework are:
· high quality care every time
· putting patients first
· driving excellence in patient safety
· shaping the future workforce.
In April 2019 the Chief Nursing Officer for England launched the ‘Guide to developing and implementing ward and unit accreditation programme’ as a guide for Chief Nurses and those in senior nursing and midwifery roles to support them with local accreditation as well as to shared examples of go...

Nursing, midwifery and care staff as part of their everyday practice are well-placed to identify opportunities for transformational change that will support delivery of better outcomes and experiences of those who use our services. To support this local accreditation aims to provide us with the tools to bring together key measures from across nursing and clinical care into a single overarching framework which can enable those working within that environment to undertake a comprehensive assessment of quality of care from ward, unit and team levels.
