Council of Governors meetings

Our Council of Governors will meet at least four times a year.

In usual circumstances, Council of Governors’ meetings are held in public and therefore anyone is welcome to attend as an observer. There is also an opportunity to ask questions during the first 15 minutes of the meeting but only governors and invited guests may speak following this.

If you wish to attend, please contact our Deputy Trust Secretary (contact details to the right of this page) for further details.

Important note:

In light of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and in accordance with NHS England/Improvement’s advice, a decision was made to instigate emergency powers to manage Trust meetings. This resulted in the cancellation of some non-essential meetings or amendments being made regarding how essential meetings are held.
