Board of directors meetings

Our board of directors' meetings are held in public.

The dates and times of meetings are listed below:

  • 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. You can download the board papers for the Thursday 27 March meeting now.

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.
