Council of Governors meetings

Would you like to stand in our governor elections? We will soon have elections in five areas of Derbyshire. Learn more about our governor elections.

The Trust, following national guidance on keeping people safe during COVID-19, stopped holding meetings in public during the pandemic. Please note that future Council of Governors meetings are likely to be held virtually in the future, with the agenda and papers available to view separately.

The papers and link to join the meeting will be published a week prior to each meeting.

Derbyshire Healthcare prides itself on being open and honest with patients, staff, Trust members and the general public. If you would like to raise a question that is applicable to the agenda of a Council of Governors meeting, please email dhcft.membership@nhs.net in advance of the meeting.

Future Council of Governors meeting dates are in the events section of this website.

About our Council of Governors meetings

The Trust’s Council of Governors consists of 16 elected public and staff governors, alongside representatives from local partners and councils (known as appointed governors), totaling 28 members.

The Council of Governors meets four times a year in public which Trust members are welcome to observe. View our Council of Governors papers by year by clicking on the drop-down list below. Papers are posted on the website one week prior to the meeting taking place.

You can submit a question to the Council of Governors by contacting the Membership office up to 48 hours before the meeting. If the Trust Chair believes the question is relevant to an item on the meeting's agenda, a response will be provided by the Council of Governors at the meeting.
