GB-London: Council of Governors' Elections

Descriptions

Foundation Trust membership at GOSH is free and anyone living in England and Wales over the age of 10 can become a GOSH member. We strive for our membership to reflect the broad and diverse public communities we serve as well as patients, their families and carers and staff. Automatic membership applies to all employees who hold a GOSH permanent contract or fixed-term contract of 12 months or more. On 31 March 2020, membership totalled 14,880 (9,815 plus 5,065 staff). As a foundation trust we are accountable to our members through our Council of Governors. The Council of Governors is made up of 26 elected and appointed Governors. They support and influence the strategic direction of the Trust by representing the views and interests of our members. Between November 2020 and January 2021, the trust will hold elections for all elected Governors whose terms expire on 1 March 2021.
