Regular board effectiveness reviews are essential to ensure your governance structures, processes, and relationships support you to meet strategic objectives and contribute to the wider health and care system. The Code of Governance for NHS provider trusts (section C, 4.7) recommends external reviews every three to five years to provide independent validation of effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement.
For foundation trusts, the council of governors should also assess its performance periodically (Code of Governance, section C, 4.8). We can extend our review
to include the council of governors or conduct a separate effectiveness review if required.
NHS Providers delivers board and committee effectiveness reviews that go beyond assessment – we partner with your team to identify clear, actionable improvements.
Our reviews are tailored to your needs and involve:
This evidence-based approach ensures a thorough, value-driven review by experienced professionals who have a deep understanding of NHS governance.
Our flexible, collaborative approach can include reviews of the board, committees and council of governors.
