Board of directors meetings

As there is no Board meeting in May 2024, please read the Trust board report for May 2024. The report contains updates from our workforce, research and innovation and education divisions, and other updates as well as the finance and performance data from month 1 of this financial year (April 2024).

Our board of directors' meetings are held in public.

The dates and times of meetings are listed below:

  • Thursday 26 September 2024, 12:45 to 14:45
  • Thursday 28 November 2024, 12:45 to 14:45
  • Thursday 30 January 2025, 12:45 to 14:45
  • Thursday 27 March 2025, 12:45 to 14:45

If you would like to attend the meeting, please email louise.westcott1@nhs.net providing your name and organisation (if attending in a work capacity).

Board papers are normally available on the website in advance of the meeting so you can be aware of the items being discussed.

It is our policy to deal with as much business as possible in our meeting held in public so that our business is open to public scrutiny. However, items that relate to individual staff, or other matters of a confidential or commercially sensitive nature which it would be inappropriate to discuss in a public forum, will be discussed in private. 

If you would like to express any views about the way that board meetings are conducted, please email louise.westcott1@nhs.net.
