Our board
United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is one part of the Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group. The Group, which also includes Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is governed by a board of executive and non-executive directors who oversee the day-to-day running of the organisation, exercising its power through various sub-committees. These committees include:
- Group Board
- Audit Committee
- Quality Committee
- Finance and Performance Committee
- People Committee
- Integration Committee
The chief executive and executive directors are full time employees of the Trust, appointed through open competition procedures. Their selection process includes an interview panel involving the chairman, non-executive directors and independent advice.
The non-executive directors are independent people, drawn from the local community and are appointed by NHS Improvement on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health.
The Group board meets in public every month to approve new polices, receive reports on performance and make decisions about how the Trust is run. The board then delegates actions to each of the sub committees.
