24/04/2008
OPS host Trust gains Foundation Trust status and is now Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
The new Trust came into being on 1st April 2008. This is excellent news for Oxford Pharmacy Store. We are an integral part of the Foundation Trust’s business plans, and gaining FT status will enable investment and growth plans to proceed on a solid footing.
From the Trust point of view—as a provider of mental health services—Julie Waldron, Chief Executive, says, “Being granted FT status is a true reflection of how hard the staff at the Trust have worked over the past few years to improve services and ensure we are in a position to take on such a role. FT status will give us the freedom to develop our services according to the needs of our patients and start to make a real difference to the inpatient environments by upgrading and replacing existing wards.”
The granting of FT status supports the Trust’s commitment to OPS and its plans to develop and enhance its service to customers.
