From sharing your thoughts and ideas to influencing the way we provide hospital services, from electing our governors to becoming a governor yourself – there are many  ways you can help us as a member.

All foundation trusts must have members and the larger and more involved our membership is, and the more closely it reflects the different communities we treat as patients, the better. We need as many interested people as possible to join us – and we'd love you and your friends and family to be one of them.
