Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust

Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust was the first Care Trust to successfully achieve NHS foundation trust status, in 2008. It provides mental health, substance misuse services and care for people with learning disabilities in part of London, England. It operates on over twenty sites in Camden and Islington, but by far the largest site, and the location of its administrative headquarters, is the St Pancras site. The Trust owns the site which has some other health providers as tenants occupying a small part of it.

It runs St Pancras Hospital which, as the name suggests is the main occupant of the St Pancras site.

The first Chair of the Trust to be appointed after it became a Foundation Trust was Richard Arthur. In the event it was his last public appointment (previous appointments had included Leader of Camden Council) as he chose to retire in September 2013, after four and a half years in post. He was succeeded as Chair of the Trust by former chief executive of Islington Council Leisha Fullick.^[1] The appointment was made, after public advertisement and interview, on the proposal of the Nominations Committee of the Trust, and ratified by a vote, after discussion, of the Council of Governors. The Remuneration and Nominations committee, to give it its full title, also oversees the appointment process for the Non Executive Directors of the Trustand also makes recommendations regarding pay and conditions. It consists of the Chair of the Trust, the Senior Independent Director of the Trust, and a majority of Governors elected by the Council of Governors. The chair of the committee is chosen by the committee, and the current (2015) chair is Wendy Savage.
