Council of Governors elections

Become a UCLH governor and help shape our future!

This year we are seeking five Trust members* to join our Council of Governors, who are keen to represent the interests of our public and patient communities. Elections will be held in the following seats and members aged 18 and over can nominate themselves to stand:

• 1 public governor
• 4 London-based patient governors
• 3 staff members (1 Medical & Dental; 1 Nursing & Midwives; 1 non-Clinical)

Governors play an important role, ranging from being involved in improving the patient experience to appointing members of the Board of Directors. You do not need any particular qualifications; the most important requirement is an interest in UCLH and a passion for improving the quality of healthcare for the patients and local community served by the Trust.

Join our virtual prospective Governors event to find out more!

The session will be held on Wednesday 21 April, 5-6pm and will include the information you need to better understand what being a governor is about:

• Hear from a governor about what they do
• Hear about the nomination process and how to apply to be a governor
• Find out about the election process

If you wish to attend or would like any more details, please contact uclh.governors@nhs.net or call 020 3447 9290.

You do not need to attend the event to apply to become a governor.
