Council of Governors
The Council of Governors plays an important role in the successful running of the Trust.
They are responsible for ensuring that our services and overall direction relate to the needs of the local communities that we serve.
Our 28 governors:
- Hold the non-executive directors individually and collectively to account for the performance of the board of directors
- Represent the interests of the membership of the Trust and the interests of the public
- Comply with the NHS Foundation Trust Code of Governance.
