It’s free to become a member of Derbyshire Healthcare – sign up today and get all the latest news about the Trust sent to you directly. We will also let you know about special events, activities and opportunities to share your views on the future of the NHS.
The Trust regularly invites its members to stand for election as a governor in constituencies throughout Derbyshire.
Being an NHS Foundation Trust (FT) means that control is put into the hands of staff, patients, service users, carers, partner organisations and the public.
These groups of people all have the opportunity to become members, and thereby influence decisions made by the Trust.
Governors represent the interests and views of the Trust membership.
They have a very important role and undertake a range of functions through committees, engagement groups and quality visits.
Some of these responsibilities include:
Firstly you must be a member of Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and be over the age of 16.
Download our membership leaflet for details on becoming a member of the Trust or use our online form.
Please then contact us if you are interested in standing to become a governor. We will send you a governor information pack.
