In July 2013 ''[[The Guardian]]'' newspaper disclosed the existence of two previously unpublished critical reviews commissioned by the hospital which revealed concerns about chronic under-staffing and sub-standard care.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Fears of new care crisis at NHS hospital|first=Denis|last=Campbell|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=2 July 2013|location=London|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/jul/02/nhs-tameside-hospital-manchester-reports|accessdate=16 July 2013}}</ref> Christine Green, the chief executive, and Dr Tariq Mahmood, the hospital's medical director, both resigned as a result of the disclosure.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Tameside hospital failings: medical director joins CEO in leaving post|first=Denis|last=Campbell|work=[[The Guardian]]|location=London|date=3 July 2013|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/jul/03/tameside-hospital-failings-ceo-leaves|accessdate=16 July 2013}}</ref>
In July 2013 as a result of the [[Keogh Review]] the Trust was put into [[special measures]] by [[Monitor (NHS)|Monitor]]<ref>{{cite news|title=Keogh review: Hospital death rates|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23325766|accessdate=9 November 2013|newspaper=BBC News|date=16 July 2013}}</ref> In October 2013 the Trust was put into the highest risk category by the [[Care Quality Commission]].<ref>{{cite news|title=NHS Trusts put in risk categories - full list|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/nhs-trusts-put-in-risk-categories--full-list-8900971.html|accessdate=9 November 2013|newspaper=Independent|date=24 October 2013|archive-date=2 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102002900/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/nhs-trusts-put-in-risk-categories--full-list-8900971.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Karen James was appointed interim Chief Executive in 2013 but was appointed permanently in 2014. She was awarded an OBE in the 2020 New Year's Honours list in recognition for bringing the Trust out of special measures to be rated 'Good' by the CQC in 2017 and 2019.<ref>{{cite news|title=OBE for Tameside & Glossop Chief Executive |url=https://www.questmedianetwork.co.uk/news/tameside-reporter/obe-for-tameside-and-glossop-nhs-trust-chief-executive/|accessdate=27 December 2019|newspaper=Tameside Reporter|date = 27 December 2019}}</ref>
[[Jeremy Hunt (politician)]] visited the hospital in June 2015 saying "I think the management of the trust has completely changed. The staff have managers who listen to them if they have concerns and I think everyone here deserves huge congratulations for the progress they have been making in turning the hospital around."<ref>{{cite news|title=Tameside Hospital has turned corner in fight to improve, says Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/tameside-hospital-turned-corner-fight-9536081|accessdate=28 June 2015|work=Manchester Evening News|date=27 June 2015}}</ref>
The trust was one of the beneficiaries of [[Boris Johnson]]'s announcement of capital funding for the NHS in August 2019, with an allocation of £16.3 million for emergency and urgent care facilities at Tameside General Hospital.<ref>{{cite news |title=Revealed: The 20 capital projects promised by the PM |url=https://www.hsj.co.uk/finance-and-efficiency/revealed-the-20-capital-projects-promised-by-the-pm/7025689.article? |accessdate=9 September 2019 |work=Health Service Journal |date=5 August 2019}}</ref>
== Local population ==
Located near the [[Pennines]], eight miles east of Manchester, the hospital serves a population of over 250,000. The population is concentrated in the largely [[urban area]]s of the townships of Tameside (Ashton-under-Lyne, [[Audenshaw]], [[Denton, Greater Manchester|Denton]], [[Droylsden]], [[Dukinfield]], [[Hyde, Greater Manchester|Hyde]], [[Longdendale]], [[Mossley]] and [[Stalybridge]]) which comprises Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council.  Glossop, with its population of approximately 32,000 is part of Derbyshire High Peak Borough Council, which is a more [[rural]] community.
==History==
===Maternity===
Two [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]]-winning footballers were born in the hospital: [[Geoff Hurst]], to whom there is a plaque within the maternity unit, and [[Simone Perrotta]].
===Integrated care trust===
In 2015 it was proposed to redesign health services in the area by bringing hospital and community care together in a programme called Care Together.  It was proposed that most care will be provided outside hospital, at home or close to where people live.<ref>{{cite news|title=Radical shake-up will fix troubled Tameside Hospital for good, say health chiefs|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/radical-shake-up-fix-troubled-tameside-8878558|accessdate=23 June 2015|publisher=Manchester Evening News|date=19 March 2015}}</ref> The trust became an integrated care organisation, employing social care staff with a [[Capitation (healthcare)|capitated]] payment system. GPs may join the trust as salaried staff. Subspecialty services in medicine and surgery and outpatient clinics would be provided by other trusts.<ref>{{cite news|title=Trust exits special measures but must undergo radical change to save £28m|url=http://www.hsj.co.uk/hsj-local/acute-trusts/tameside-hospital-nhs-foundation-trust/trust-exits-special-measures-but-must-undergo-radical-change-to-save-28m/5090453.article#.VilVYkpup1A|accessdate=22 October 2015|publisher=Health Service Journal|date=17 September 2015}}</ref>
To reflect the change in approach, the trust's name was changed in 2016 from Tameside Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.<ref>{{cite web |title=Report to Public Trust Board meeting of 29th September 2016 |url=https://www.tamesidehospital.nhs.uk/Documents/TrustBoardPapersSeptember2016.pdf |publisher=Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust |accessdate=16 February 2020}}</ref> The new organisation brings together Tameside and Glossop [[Clinical Commissioning Group]], [[Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council]], part of [[Derbyshire County Council]], and the Foundation Trust with the borough council Chief Executive leading the organisation.<ref>{{cite news|title=Tameside council chief executive appointed as CCG lead|url=http://www.publicsectorexecutive.com/Public-Sector-News/tameside-council-chief-executive-appointed-as-ccg-lead|accessdate=3 October 2016|publisher=Public Sector Executive|date=2 September 2016}}</ref>
===Healthy eating===
From January 2018 the hospital's restaurant offers only sugar free drinks to its staff and visitors as part of a programme to help staff and patients to lose weight.<ref>{{cite news|title=GM hospital becomes first to ban sugary food and drinks|url=http://healthcareleadernews.com/article/gm-hospital-becomes-first-ban-sugary-food-and-drinks|accessdate=15 February 2018|publisher=Healthcare Leader News|date=10 January 2018}}</ref>
