Preparation programme

The FT Preparation Programme is open to all NHS trusts working towards foundation trust applications.

The programme aims to prepare NHS trusts for their FT applications by drawing on the experience of, and good practice developed by, existing foundation trusts. It currently consists of a series of events, information sources, e-links and access to one-to-one or group buddying.

This support is free and available to both Foundation Trust Network members and non-members.
