Our work is driven by our commitment to representing and promoting the common interests of foundation trusts and those aspiring to foundation trust status.
Our work programme is organised around three priorities:
- Representing views as the national voice for foundation trusts, we provide a single point of contact for those wanting to know more about the foundation trust movement
- Shaping policy our policy agenda focuses not just on the immediate issues facing foundation trusts but on the changes needed to ensure the success of the wider NHS reforms
- Sharing learning a key part of our mission is to enable foundation trusts to share innovation and learning within the FT movement and across the health service
The FTN also runs a preparation programme, funded by the Department of Health, to help NHS organisations prepare for foundation trust status.
