Since its founders started leasing out rolling stock almost 150 years ago Lombard, a leading asset finance specialist and part of The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Group, have been helping businesses to obtain the vehicles, vessels, aircraft, machinery or technology they need.

This new system allows the Trust to drive forward a standardised, faster, safer approach to all aspects of patient care from referrals through to discharges and communication between teams. The Training Foundation's TAP Learning System is playing a vital role in supporting the Trust's aim to provide the best mental health and learning disability services in the country.
