Our Council of Governors

The Council of Governors, collectively, is the body that provides local accountability to the Trust’s service users, carers, staff, stakeholders and the wider public. The Council consists of a number of individuals, made up of both appointed and elected governors.

The concept of an NHS Foundation Trust rests on local accountability, which Governors perform a pivotal role in providing. The Governors represent the interests of members of the Trust as a whole and the interests of the public, contributing to the future direction of our Trust; holding the Non-Executive Directors (collectively and individually) to account for the way our Board of Directors performs. The Council of Governors shares information and key decisions with Foundation Trust members.
