Lead Governor
Dr Ivan Benett
Lead Governor
As a former GP for over four decades alongside having previously been a Non-Executive Director for four years, I have first-hand experience of working with patients and gained valuable insights into their experiences of the NHS and the Trust.
As Lead Governor, I will put my experience and skills to good use by working with my fellow Governor colleagues to support the Trust to take forward improvements, where appropriate.
Looking for innovative ways to engage with members, staff and the wider public will also be a key focus going forward, so that their views and priorities around quality and patient-centred care can be effectively shared.
Term of Office: 1 Year – Ending at 2025 Council of Governors Meeting
Elected: November 2025 (1st term)
