Bob Piper has been Chairman of the Trust since 2004. It became a Foundation Trust in 2009.
The Trust was give £89,000 from the Nursing Technology Fund in March 2014 which is to be spent on mobile devices.
The trust, together with Dudley and Walsall Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust has set up a Liaison and Diversion service. The intention is that "when someone in a police station, or involved in court proceedings, has a mental health problem or other vulnerabilities, they are referred to the right services and are given support and guidance based on their needs."
An inspection by the Care Quality Commission in 2016 found that Abbey ward, Charlemont ward and Friar ward at Hallam Street Hospital, West Bromwich all had blind spots. The wards were said to be in a ‘poor state’ with stained and damaged walls, carpets and furniture and an ‘unpleasant odour throughout the ward areas’. They found a number of areas of good practice. "This included how young people were involved in making decisions about their care and that the trust had also employed a nurse who spoke four Asian languages to lead on work with black and minority ethnic communities.”
