Performance
The Trust was rated "requires improvement" following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission in November 2019. However, following an unannounced inspection in March 2021, the CQC found significant improvement across all the areas they reviewed. They also noted staff spoke positively about the culture in the hospital and the support and visibility of the leadership teams on the medical wards.[5]
From 20 September 2021, the Trust entered an agreement for a long-term partnership with the neighbouring St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust with Ann Marr as chief executive and Anne-Marie Stretch as managing director, Trish Armstrong-Child having become chief executive of Blackpool Teachings Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.[6]
