Make a difference – become a governor

9:35am Wednesday 27th July 2011 in Health

Residents of Buckinghamshire are being invited to find out more about becoming a governor at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust.

Sessions are being held around the county over the coming weeks providing information about what it means to become a governor and our plans to become an NHS Foundation Trust.

One benefit of becoming an NHS Foundation Trust is improved local accountability through a council of governors. Public governors are elected from our membership of more than 12,500.
