The Trust uses the Single Transferable Vote voting system to elect its Members' Council.[2]

The Trust and its hospitals have close links with the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University.

In 2013 it was asked to support Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust[3] as a result of the Keogh Review

In January 2015 the Trust announced a deal with HP Enterprise Services UK, Orion Health and Imprivata to give clinicians secure online access to patients' medical records, enabling "more joined up working between community, acute and primary care professionals".[4]

It is one of the biggest provider of specialised services in England, which generated an income of £295.9 million in 2014/5.[5]

Performance

The Trust was highlighted by NHS England as having 3 out of the 148 reported never events in England in the period from April to September 2013.[6]

The trust expects to finish 2015-16 with a deficit of more than £19 million as a result of changes to the NHS tariff.[7]
