Academic Health Science Networks (AHSN)
Academic Health Science Network (AHSNs) are membership organisations within the NHS in England. They were created in May 2013 with the aim of bringing together health services, and academic and industry members. Their stated purpose is to improve patient outcomes and generate economic benefits for the UK by promoting and encouraging the adoption of innovation in healthcare.
Each of the 15 Academic Health Science Networks in England focus on the health of the local community. Collectively, as a national network, AHSNs support improvements around common themes such as improving patient safety. Use the AHSN interactive map to find out more about their work.

In accordance with the NHS Mandate, national outcome ambitions, and local priorities for East Midlands patients, East Midlands Strategic Clinical Networks exist to support NHS England’s vision that: “Everyone has greater control of their health and well-being, supported to live longer, healthier lives by high quality health and care services that are compassionate, inclusive and constantly improving.”
Strategic Clinical Networks (SCNs) are an integral part of the new NHS England structure. Their objectives are to support NHS England and local commissioners to deliver the improved quality of care as described in the NHS Outcomes Framework
The SCNs involve service users from all these areas to ensure that the patient and public voice is fed into future service development and quality improvement.
Unlike the Senate, which is an entirely new body, Strategic Clinical Networks build on the success of previous networks that combine the experience of clinicians, patients, staff and providers to improve the way care is provided
Professor Aly Rashid, Medical Director of NHS England’s Leicestershire and Lincolnshire Area Team, is the Accountable Officer for both the regional Strategic Clinical Networks and the Clinical Senate in the East Midlands, .
For further information about SCNs read the briefing paper by RAISE at www.raise-networks.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Strategic-Clinical-Networks-and-the-Clinical-Senate1.pdf
Clinical Senates have been established to be a source of independent, strategic advice and guidance to commissioners and other stakeholders to assist them to make the best decisions about healthcare for the populations they represent.
They bring together a range of health and social care professionals with patients to take an overview of health and healthcare for local populations. They provide a source of strategic, independent advice and leadership on how services should be designed to provide the best overall care and outcomes for patients.

Originally there were four local health community workforce teams across East Midlands; Lincolnshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire. In the recent restructure [2015] Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Local Workforce teams have merged. Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Local Workforce teams have also merged. Lincolnshire retains its own Local Workforce team.
They are yet to recruit to the positions of Workforce Transformation Managers for Leicestershire, Northamptonshire & Rutland, and Lincolnshire. From September 2015 the Transformation Manager for Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire will be Amanda Batty, who will be in post for six months.
The structures are as follows:
Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire: |
Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland: |
Lincolnshire: |
Locality Partnership Manager: Transformation and LETC Lead Workforce Transformation Lead x2 Administration Team Leader Administration Assistant |
Locality Partnership Manager Transformation and LETC Lead Workforce Transformation Lead x2 posts Administration Team Leader Administration Assistant |
Locality Partnership Manager Transformation and LETC Lead Workforce Transformation Lead x2 posts Administration Team Leader Administration Assistant |
The Workforce Leads meet with the East Midlands Local Education Training Board [EMLETB] regularly to agree consistent approaches where appropriate, keep up to date with national and regional developments and to share good practice.
Skills for Care
The role of Skills for Care is to ensure the adult social care workforce has the skills and qualifications needed to deliver high quality care and support. They work closely with organisations providing adult social care across England to develop effective tools and resources and offer support with a range of issues including recruiting and retaining staff, developing skills; qualifications and training, and workforce planning.
Skills for Care has a network of area teams across England who can signpost to information, resources and tools to support employers and workforce development. Locality managers work closely with other stakeholders including the Care Quality Commission (CQC), local authorities, learning providers, and the voluntary sector and have a comprehensive picture of workforce related issues in your area such as recruitment, retention, provision of apprenticeships, training and qualifications for social care, and workforce planning. Please see our Who's Who in the East Midlands for details.

Hospital trusts [also known as an acute trust]
A hospital trust, also known as an acute trust is an NHS trust that provides secondary health services within the English National Health Service. NHS hospital services are run and managed by NHS trusts, which make sure that hospitals provide high-quality healthcare, and that money is spent efficiently. They also decide on strategies for hospital developments. Apart from emergency care, hospital treatment is arranged through your GP, dentist and optician. Treatment at NHS hospitals is free.
NHS Trusts were established under the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 and were set up in five waves. Each one was established by a Statutory Instrument.
The trusts are not trusts in the legal sense but are in effect public sector corporations. Each trust is headed by a board consisting of executive and non-executive directors, and is chaired by a non-executive director.
Foundation Trusts
Foundation Trusts are NHS organisations that are run a bit differently to NHS Trusts. Foundation Trusts are still fully part of the NHS and they are still required to meet nationally set targets and objectives. Foundation Trust now have greater freedom and local people can become members of our Trust and can elect Member Councillors to represent their views and work alongside the Trust.
Foundation Trusts are regulated and monitored by both the Care Quality Commission (as are all NHS Trusts) and Monitor, which is the independent regulator of foundation trusts.
Unlike current NHS Trusts, a Foundation Trust is able to borrow and invest funds and has minimum three year contracts with commissioners rather that the annual contracts that we have been used to. This will allow the Trust to make decisions about how services are run with the benefit of known funding. Foundation Trusts can enter formal partnerships and joint ventures with other organisations outside the NHS – such as voluntary organisations or housing providers. Foundation Trusts are able to re-invest savings in their own services without having to seek approval from the Department of Health or local NHS commissioners

Mental Health Trusts
A mental health trust provides health and social care services for people with mental health disorders. There are 56 mental health trusts (including 43 foundation trusts) in England. They are commissioned and funded by clinical commissioning groups.
Patients usually access the services of mental health trusts through their GP (primary care medical doctor) or via a stay in hospital. Most of the services are for people who live in the region, although there may be specialist services for the whole of the UK or services that accept national referrals. Mental Health Trusts may or may not provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services themselves (they may form part of a general hospital run by an NHS Hospital Trust). The various trusts work together and with local authorities and voluntary organisations to provide care.
