Administrative / Biographical History

York Hospitals NHS Foundation became York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust on 1 August 2010. The addition of 'Teaching' reflected the increasing involvement of the Trust with Hull York Medical School, as well as to other higher and further education establishments in the area.
In April 2011 the Trust took over the management of some community-based services in Selby, York, Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale. This included some community nursing and specialist services as well as Archways in York, St Monica’s in Easingwold, The New Selby War Memorial Hospital, Whitby Hospital and Malton Hospital.

York Hospitals NHS Trust applied to become an NHS Foundation Trust in 2006. The application was approved by Monitor, the Foundation Trust regulator, and York Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was established on 1 April 2007.
In 2010 the Trust became York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as a result of its closer ties with Hull York Medical School.
