As a Foundation Trust, we have a membership community made up of a public constituency of local people, a staff constituency for all permanent members of staff and a constituency for our volunteers.
Our membership helps us discover how best to improve services and ensure we put our patients’ and local communities’ needs first.
The Trust is committed to meaningful engagement with its members.
Membership is free and anyone over 16 years old is welcome to join.
Members are welcome to register without an email address and will be able to participate in governor elections which are circulated by post. However, we will be able to stay in touch with our members more regularly through email.
