Council of Governors

Graphic of people group

The Council of Governors are responsible for representing the views and interests of the NHS Foundation Trust Members and the general public. They have an important role in acting as the eyes and ears of the membership with regards to the quality of service the Trust provides.

The Council of Governors do not undertake the operational management of the Trust; rather they provide a vital link to the wider community, challenge the Board of Directors and collectively hold the Non-Executive Directors to account for the performance of the Board.

Governors are responsible for regularly feeding back information about the Trust, its vision and its performance to the constituencies and stakeholder organisations that either elected or nominated them.

More information about the Council of Governors can be found via the link below:
