Safer, better, good value care

Support your Royal Cornwall Hospitals and be a part of our future...

Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust - West Cornwall Hospital, St Michael's Hospital and Royal Cornwall Hospital - need your support to become an NHS Foundation Trust.

  |

Being an NHS Foundation Trust would give our staff and community greater freedom and control over the way services are run.

Financially it enables us to keep surpluses to invest in new and improved services.

NHS Foundation Trusts are still part of the NHS and provide free healthcare.

For more information about our NHS Foundation Trust consultation and application you can read our consultation document and our final report |on the consultation.
