Organisational Structure
The Ayrshire Hospice is governed by a Management Council, membership of which is drawn from the Ayrshire community. Members of Management council are elected, non-executive Directors and trustees of the Hospice and have equal responsibility in law for the actions and decisions of the Council.
The Senior Management Team consists of a Medical Director and Director of Nursing and Hospice Services. This team is charged with responsibility for the day-to-day running of the Hospice and with ensuring that Management Council is properly advised for the purposes of developing and reviewing strategy.
Each department within the Hospice is managed by a designated Head of Department on a highly devolved basis, with individuals and teams being given as much responsibility as is possible within the confines of their training and experience.
Effective communications structures, both formal and informal, ensure a good multidirectional flow of information which helps to support efficient and cost-effective organisational procedures.
