Annual public and members meeting

We're inviting patients, service users, carers, members and the wider community to join us for our Annual Public and Members' Meeting (APMM), taking place on Monday 21 September 2026 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, centred around our THRIVE strategy.

The APMM is an important opportunity to hear about the work we've delivered over the past year, our priorities for the future, and how feedback from patients, carers and communities is helping to shape our services. It is also a chance to hear directly from our senior leaders and gain a clearer understanding of the Trust's performance and direction.

The meeting will open with a welcome from our Interim Group Chair, Faisal Hussain, who will introduce the event and reflect on the importance of working together with our communities, partners and staff. Our Chief Executive, Angela Hillery, will then share reflections on the past year, highlighting key achievements, challenges and the difference our services have made to people's lives.

Two case studies will be presented by NHFT services, demonstrating our THRIVE strategy in action.

We will also present our annual accounts, providing an overview of how we have used our resources to deliver services and support improvements across the Trust. This forms an important part of our commitment to being open and transparent about how we operate.

A key part of the meeting is the opportunity for attendees to take part in a question and answer session. This is your chance to ask questions, raise topics that matter to you, and hear directly from our leadership team. We encourage you to submit questions in advance when registering, and there will also be opportunities to ask questions during the event.

Whether you're already a member or simply interested in local healthcare, everyone is welcome to attend.
