Trust Behind Scarborough Hospital Suggests Change of Name

Sunday, 8 November 2020 06:00

Eight years after taking over the running of Scarborough Hospital the York Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is considering adding Scarborough to it's name.

In 2012 York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust merged with Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust. This brought Scarborough Hospital, Bridlington Hospital, and a number of community and rehabilitation hospitals under the umbrella of York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

The trust say..

"In the years since the merger, the question of changing the Trust’s name has continued to be raised by staff and by some members of our communities. It is increasingly clear that the name of the Trust does not accurately describe what we are as an organisation.

As such, we would like to change our name to:

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

We believe that the change will send a strong, inclusive message to all of our staff, help us move forward as a single organisation, and better represent the communities we serve, now and in the future.

Changing our name will not impact on the services we currently provide but before making any decision we want to know what our patients, staff, trust members and local people think about the proposed change."

The public are being asked for their views on the proposed change which will be used to inform a final recommendation for the Council of Governors and Board of Directors.

You can send your feedback by completing this short online form, no later than Sunday 29 November 2020.
