Hampshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust was renamed in 2011 Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust shortly after its acquisition of Hampshire Primary Care Trust's (PCT) community healthcare and hospital services, which had previously operated within the PCT under the name Hampshire Community Health Care. It merged with Oxfordshire Learning Disabilities Trust in 2012. It is one of the largest mental health and learning disability trusts in England.
The trust runs Slade House and Evenlode in Oxford, the Ridgeway Centre in High Wycombe, Eastrop House and Parklands Hospital in Basingstoke, Hollybank and Elmleigh in Havant, Postern House in Marlborough, Melbury Lodge and Leigh House in Winchester, Crowlin House and Forest Lodge, Woodhaven, Western Community Hospital, Antelope House and Moorgreen Hospital in Southampton, Ravenswood House in Fareham, Jacobs Lodge in Hounsdown, Chase Community Hospital, Alton Community Hospital, Fordingbridge Hospital, Romsey Hospital, Petersfield Hospital and Gosport War Memorial Hospital.
The Trust is one of eight in a partnership of NHS mental health trusts to provide acute mental health inpatient services for military personnel.
In July 2016 it was announced that the trust would transfer community learning disability services in Oxfordshire to Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust as part of a plan to reduce the area served and the disparate services provided.
It took over six GP practices in Gosport in 2016.
The Trust's Going Viral programme won the Leadership Innovation category at the first Guardian Healthcare Innovation Awards in November 2013.
In November 2013 the Care Quality Commission issued an enforcement notice to the trust after inspection of the Headington site found it to be in breach of six essential standards. Slade House was found to be unsafe for patients.
The trust was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 6662 full time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.95%. 64% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 53% recommended it as a place to work.
Oxfordshire County Council’s adult social care director and local Clinical commissioning groups decided that the trust’s contract to run specialist inpatient services and community teams in Oxfordshire should not be renewed when it expires on December 31 2015 after regulators and commissioners had raised “quality and performance concerns” about inpatient services. The Care Quality Commission rated the trust’s learning disability inpatient services as ‘requiring improvement’ in March 2015 though community learning disability services were rated as ‘good’.
