Every NHS Foundation Trust has a Council of Governors who are there to represent the views and opinions of members.

Governors stand for a maximum term of three years and are either elected by members or appointed from our partner organisations.

Governors work in partnership with the Board of Directors (which is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Trust and its strategic development) and agree what needs to be done to meet the needs of the community.

The Council of Governors links the Board of Directors to the Membership and communities.
