Meet the governors
The week is designed to enable governors to meet patients and their families and hear their feedback about their care – positive or negative. They are also keen to recruit new members to the trust and to chat to existing members.
Governors will be on hand at City Road throughout the week between 10.30am and 12.30pm and 1.30 to 3.30pm. The governors will also be joined during the week on two of the sessions by non- executive board members Sumita Singha on Tuesday morning and Phil Luthert on Thursday morning.
Our governors also run regular engagement events at our various satellite locations. Dates for the remainder of 2013 will be published on our website www.moorfields.nhs.uk closer to the time to ensure that sessions are still running as planned.
