List of NHS trusts

This is a list of NHS trusts which have been established in England. It includes Acute Hospital Trusts, Ambulance Trusts, Mental Health Trusts, and the unique Isle of Wight NHS Trust. Many trusts have been dissolved or have changed their name and each is listed separately, under each significant name. If the same trust has continued with only a slight change of name it is only listed once, with the latest name.

Community Health NHS Trusts present particular difficulties. Like all the trusts they were originally established under the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990. They have been frequently merged, split and reorganised, sometimes combined with hospital trusts or mental health trusts. After 2001 most of them were subsumed into Primary Care Trusts and under the Transforming Community Services programme they were then re-established in various organisational forms, not always within the NHS. A further wave of community trusts were established between 2010 and 2013 when PCTs were abolished, sometimes with a name which had been used previously.

There is a separate List of Primary Care Trusts in England.

Dates of mergers and dissolutions are generally the date of legislation. The operational date may be different.

NHS Foundation Trusts were regulated by Monitor. Those which have not attained Foundation Trust status were supervised by the NHS Trust Development Authority. From 1 April 2016 they are all supervised by NHS Improvement.
