NHS Providers

NHS Providers is the membership organisation for NHS trusts in England, which takes part in negotiations between the trusts and the Department of Health[1] and provides development support to trust leaders.[2]

Until 2011, the body was a section of the NHS Confederation. Claiming 100% of trusts and foundation trusts in England as members, NHS Providers is overseen by a board of 20 trust chiefs.[3] Its member bodies include NHS hospitals alongside mental health, community and ambulance services.[4]

Steve Barclay spoke at the organisation's 2022 conference, hinting that the NHS would be given more money in the chancellor's Autumn Statement.[5]
