Governors

The Council of Governors is a very important forum that helps shape the future direction of the Trust. 

Members of the public, patients, service users, carers, and staff are all encouraged to get in touch with our Governors to improve the way we work and deliver services. You can contact any of our Governors via our Foundation Trust office. You can be confident that our Governors will always treat what you tell them sensitively and confidentially when needed. Your experiences, views and suggestions can really help the Trust to make services better for everyone. The Council of Governors meets regularly to discuss and review the Trust's plans. Other roles and responsibilities for the Council of Governors are: 

• Representing members' views to the Trust's board of directors
• Sharing information about key decisions with members of the Trust
• Appointing or removing the chair and non-executive directors
• Being involved in recruitment of the chief executive
• Appointing the Trust's auditors
• Providing advice on the future strategic plans of the Trust
• Receiving the annual report and accounts at the annual general meeting.
