Become a Governor
Suzy Brain England, Chair of the Board at the Trust, said: “Whilst the last couple of years have been challenging for the NHS, here in Doncaster and Bassetlaw we have been uplifted by an inspiring community spirit and an apparent thirst from residents to help their local hospitals. If you want to continue to be a friend to the Trust and help to shape the way our hospitals develop services in the future, you can apply to be a governor.”
Public governors play a vital role in representing the public and influencing how their local hospitals make plans to improve and develop services. Anyone interested in becoming a public governor is asked to submit their nomination before 5pm on 21 February 2022.
“Public governors get involved in all manner of activities, offering crucial input and giving voice to the public in discussions about their local hospitals. They hold the Board of Directors to account and ask the questions they know the community would ask."
The Trust will provide all necessary training, advice and support for those elected as governors. Governors who are elected will be in post for a period of three years and will be eligible to stand for re-election at the end of that period.
