Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust

Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust is a Community health NHS trust established in 2012 under the Transforming Community Servicesprogramme to run community services in Gloucestershire after proposals to set up a community interest company, Gloucester Care Services, were abandoned.[1]

The organisation provides a range of in-patient and out-patient services to a population of about 600,000 people, including nursing, physiotherapy, reablement and adult social care services. It has adopted Medworxx Patient Flow Solution to optimise patient flow and discharge.[2]

Katie Norton, who was working for Deloitte, but has been chief executive at Neath Port Talbot Health Board and North Somerset Primary Care Trust was appointed Chief Executive in 2016. [3]

Contraceptive services were provided at St Paul's Wing at Cheltenham General Hospital, while genito-urinary medicine has been delivered at Benhall Clinic. The trust is now establishing an integrated service in a new purpose-build clinic.[4]

Anne Frances MacCallum, the Trust's Head of specialist services, was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to Nursing in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2015.[5]
