Council of Governors

Our Council of Governors acts as a link between University Hospitals Sussex members and the Trust Board. It promotes active membership, represents local views and stands as a ‘critical friend’ to the trust. It also appoints – and decides the remuneration of – the Trust’s Chair and the Non- Executive Directors, and approves the appointment of the Chief Executive.

Meet our governors

Our governors are typically involved in many areas beyond their statutory duties, such as:

Holding constituency meetings to communicate with members
Representing the views of members to the Trust Board
Developing and reviewing the membership strategy to ensure representation and engagement levels are maintained and increased as appropriate
Working with hospital volunteers
Giving talks to interested stakeholders
