Become a member of our hospital Trust
Do you want to play an important part in shaping and improving our services?
You don’t need any special skills, qualifications or experience to be a member – you just need to be interested in your local hospital and the work we do.
You must be 16 years old or over - there is no upper age limit for membership. You also need to be resident in the catchment area of our hospital. Our staff are automatically members of this Trust unless they choose to opt out.
Our Council of Governors works closely with the Board of Directors - who are responsible for the day to day running of the Trust - and lead on engaging with Trust members.
If you would like to become a member please fill in our online application form below.

- to elect nominated individuals to sit on the Council of Governors
Being a Member will not:
- cost you anything - membership is free
- require you to attend meetings, unless you wish to come along to those meetings of the Board of Directors or Council of Governors held in public
