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 and provides development support to trust leaders. Until 2011, it was a section of the NHS Confederation.
Claiming 90% of trusts as members, NHS Providers is overseen by a board of 20 trust chiefs. The organisation's chief executive since 2012 is Chris Hopson and its chair is Sir Ron Kerr, former chief executive of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London.
