Wye Valley NHS Trust was established on 1 April 2011.   The Trust was England’s first integrated provider of acute, community and adult social care services, bringing together Hereford Hospitals NHS Trust, NHS Herefordshire’s Provider Services (excluding Mental Health) and Herefordshire Council’s Adult Social Care services.    The delivery of a robust and functioning [water safety plan](https://www.waterhygienecentre.com/water-safety-plan) for any NHS Trust / Board remains a key issue in the 21st century, along with continually reviewing[ Legionella risk assessments](https://www.waterhygienecentre.com/legionella-risk-assessment-l8), management policies, and operational procedures.    This case study details the challenges and problems they faced, along with the solution, the benefits, and the outcome of consistently working together.   Both the Trust and Sodexo are now aligned with a consistent water safety plan and monitoring forms, all supported by their Authorising Engineer [Water].     Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about this blog or if you would like to [consult with one of our experts for further advice on water hygiene.](https://www.waterhygienecentre.com/contact)   Editors Note: The information provided in this blog is correct at the original publication date - April 2020. © Water Hygiene Centre 2020 ## **Read the full article here:** [Collaboration enhances system management](https://content.yudu.com/web/1u0jl/0A1umgt/HEJApril2020/html/index.html?page=26&origin=reader)   [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2896031/4db1e076-9c63-4bf3-ac16-195ee83ee99c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2896031/4db1e076-9c63-4bf3-ac16-195ee83ee99c)   #### About the author #### [Daniel Pitcher](https://www.waterhygienecentre.com/news/author/daniel-pitcher) With over 21 years of independent consulting experience, Daniel established the Water Hygiene Centre in February 2009 to be a ‘centre of excellence’ dedicated to independent water safety consultancy.
