Independent Well-Led Review of Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) is seeking an independent, developmental review of its leadership and governance. AWP provides mental health services across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire through more than 90 community and inpatient sites. Services include acute mental health, recovery, liaison, dementia, forensic, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and specialist mental health programmes. Following a 2024 Care Quality Commission inspection (reported May 2025), the Trust's well-led rating was marked as 'requires improvement'. The Trust is currently in segment 3 of the NHS Oversight Framework with an Amber-Green Provider Capability assessment and operates within two financially challenged Integrated Care Systems. Recent changes include a new Chair (autumn 2024) and three new Non-Executive Directors (2026). The review will assess leadership and governance against the Care Quality Commission well-led framework, provide objective and constructive challenge, identify prioritised developmental actions, and support targeted improvement work to secure and sustain future performance.
