Our Council of Governor meetings are held 6 times a year and we are hoping that they will be held face to face again from November 2022. Council meetings are where our Governors undertake any statutory duties as well as the opportunity to seek assurance from our Executive and feed into the Trust plans. Members and the public are welcome to join these meetings, there is an opportunity for you to ask questions at the end of each meeting (or submit them up to two days’ in advance).

You may recall that in the Summer update we advised that we are looking at how we can communicate better and more effectively with our members and the wider community. In the Trusttalk Winter update there will be a survey for you to complete. We want to ensure that our future plans for membership include as many voices as possible. In December we will also be offering you the opportunity to share your thoughts at our ‘Big Conversations’. The dates will also be confirmed in the next issue so please look out for these.  

If you would like to contact us or your Governors in the meantime you can call us 0800 032 7297 or email elft.membership@nhs.net.
