Description

South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) provides the hospital services to South Warwickshire from four hospitals:

Warwick Hospital
Leamington Spa Hospital
Stratford Hospital
Ellen Badger Hospital

We also deliver out-of-hospital community services to the whole of Warwickshire and beyond serving a population of more than half a million from various clinics.

What is a Foundation Trust?

South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust was formed on 1 March 2010. A foundation trust status gives us greater freedom to manage our own affairs, and makes us more directly accountable to local people through our Members, who are drawn from the local population and staff.

We are managed by a Board of Directors and the Trust is overseen by our Council of Governors.

We continue to be part of the NHS and treat patients in accordance with core NHS principles – healthcare that is provided according to clinical need, not ability to pay, that it is free at the point of delivery, and that it meets the needs of everyone.
