Foundation Trust

Becoming a Member

One of the important differences about Foundation Trusts is their responsibilities to the local people who become members of the Trust.

You can be a member if you live in the areas served by the Trust, have been a patient or carer of a patient who has used our services or you are a member of staff.

All Members will:

  • Receive regular information relating to the Trust
  • Be invited to Member events and annual meetings
  • Help shape the future direction of the Trust through consultation and other feedback mechanisms
  • Be involved on issues of service development, improvement and change by representing patient/public or staff on working groups
  • Be eligible to stand for election to represent the views of Members on the Council of Members
  • Elect Members as Governors on the Council of Members.
