Burton Hospitals and Derby Teaching Hospitals are inviting local people to get involved in shaping a proposed collaboration between the two Trusts, with two workshops being held in March.

Burton and Derby have a history of successful joint working, and during 2016 discussions took place about developing this further. A document called a Final Business Case will be developed for consideration in July 2017. This will set out the nature of the partnership and will be considered for approval by the Boards of both hospital Trusts.
