Governors play an important role in holding the Trust accountable for the services it provides, as well as helping it deliver quality care to local communities. Governors also hold non-executive directors to account for the performance of the Board and represent the interests of Trust members and the public.
Governors are elected from the Trust’s membership of over 22,000. Joining is simple and can be done online at www.sfh-tr.nhs.uk, by calling 01623 622515 ext 6911 or by emailing sfh-tr.membership@nhs.net
