- Electing membership representatives to our Council of Governors
- Being able to stand for election to our Council of Governors (if aged 16 years or over)
- Taking part in surveys and sharing your views with us about our ‘Future Plans’ – telling us what is important to you
- Attending member events, including our Young People’s Event and Annual Members’ Meeting
- Talking to Governors (membership representatives) and sharing your ideas and views about healthcare.
We are currently undertaking a public membership recruitment campaign across our various hospital sites and key community locations and would be delighted if you, your family, friends or colleagues would consider becoming a member.
