As a Foundation Trust, we are also held to account by our Members who, acting through our Council of Governors, play an important part in our governance arrangements by offering constructive challenge to the Trust Board on important issues which matter to our members.
The Council of Governors consists of elected and nominated governors who provide an important link between the Trust, local people and key stakeholder organisations by sharing information and views that can be used to develop and improve patient services.
