Our board

We are dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion, delivering many of the NHS services that are provided outside of hospital and in the community.

Our Board

The Board of Directors sets the overall strategic direction of our Trust. As members of the Trust’s Board, we are determined and clear on our priorities for the future.

The Board comprises:

  • Executive Directors, who are employees of the Trust.
  • Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), who do not have a managerial role. 

The NEDs constructively challenge the executive directors on the Trust’s strategy. Along with the executive directors, they are accountable for the Trust’s performance.
