The unified management structure put in place from 1st April 1999, is centred around six Clinical Management Units (CMUs). The clinical management model in place is run under the leadership of a Clinical Director, although a number of CMU's have more than one Clinical Director in post currently. The structure can be summarised as:

• Facilities CMU - No Clinical Director
• Medical CMU - Clinical Directors
• Surgical CMU - Clinical Directors
• Diagnostic CMU - Clinical Directors
• Women's CMU - A single Clinical Director
• Elderly CMU - A single Clinical Director (this CMU is jointly managed with the Community Trust)
