Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

In July 2018 Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was part of a merger with Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which created the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust and Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust ceased to exist.

Prior to this, Queen's Hospital in Burton upon Trent, Samuel Johnson Community Hospital at Lichfield and Sir Robert Peel Community Hospital at Tamworth were run by Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The Trust set up a partnership with Health Innovation Partners Ltd., a joint venture of Arcadis NV and Morgan Sindall to manage and develop its estate over 10 years.

The trust is sub-contracted to Virgin Healthcare in a 7-year contract worth for providing long-term and elderly care in East Staffordshire. It had to pay £300,000 in VAT at the end of 2016-17 because Virgin cannot recover VAT costs as NHS organisations can.

The trust merged with Derby Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to form University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust in July 2018.
