Become a Governor
One of the guiding principles of being an NHS Foundation Trust is that they are accountable to local people. Their elected Council of Governors at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) help shape the way they plan and deliver their integrated community, mental health and learning disability services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. They consist of members of the public, past and present service users, carers and CPFT staff who hold the Board of Directors to account and formally ratify decisions made by the Board of Directors.
Who can become a Governor?
Anyone over the age of 18 who lives in the UK. You don’t have to be an expert in healthcare, but be interested in shaping the future of CPFT and having a say in important decisions. They look for
enthusiastic people who can bring their unique experience to the organisation. You must become a member of their Trust to apply to become a Governor.
To apply, just fill in a short form. For more information or if you have any questions, email foundationtrust@cpft.nhs.uk.
