As you will know, the Bolton NHS Foundation Trust will be created on the 1st July 2011 from the services currently in the Royal Bolton Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and most of the services now managed by the provider arm of Bolton Primary Care Trust
A vision and strategy document "Better Care Together" has been developed which contains a statement of the five-year vision, strategy and priorities for the Bolton NHS Foundation Trust (integrated community and hospital healthcare services provider in Bolton). The document is aimed at patients, staff, Foundation Trust members, healthcare partners, and those other teams that we work with in Bolton and beyond. We also hope it will also be of general interest to our local population. It has been based on wide-ranging discussion in the last few months. We have listened to the views of a broad range of interests from inside and outside the service, and we have set out to reflect these in our plans and priorities.
We are keen to hear your views and would welcome comments by 17th June. We would be pleased to come and meet groups to discuss our plans. If you think this would be useful, please contact Ann Schenk, Director of Service Development.

The bringing together of hospital and community services marks a great opportunity to improve how we provide care. This is an exciting prospect, even though it comes at a time when public services face some unprecedented challenges. We hope you share our vision. We want to work with patients, staff and partners to make it a reality.
