Governor Elections
Interested in becoming a Governor?
This is your opportunity to make a difference. As part of the role, you will:
- Represent the interests of the Trust’s members
- Learn about the hospital's services
- Undertake training and development to support you in the role
- Represent your community and help the voice of staff, patients and the public to be heard by the Trust
- Hold the Non-Executive Directors to account for the performance of the Trust.
Members can apply to become a governor of the constituency in which they reside (Medway, Swale or Rest of England).
Governors are elected for a term of three years, and can stand for re-election once (giving a total length of service of six years).
They are asked to commit eight to ten hours a month to their role.
Governors are expected to adhere to the Trust’s Code of Conduct and attend meetings of the Council of Governors which take place four times a year (these meetings are currently held virtually via MS Teams).
Governors are also expected to attend the Annual General Meeting and any other meetings identified by the Council.
