Velindre University NHS Trust is ‘Host’ to a number of external organisations. ‘Host’ status is defined by the organisation(s) have their own ‘board’ where more detailed discussions and sign-off of strategy and performance takes place or where there is direct sponsorship from another statutory body e.g. Welsh Government. 

 

By having such arrangements they are outside of the usual Trust management arrangements and are not, for example, the same as our ‘managed’ Divisions of the Trust who have Directors who are directly accountable for strategy and operational management to the Chief Executive and are represented on the Trust Board and are members of the Executive Management Board.
