As an NHS Foundation Trust, we have a Council of Governors made up of elected public and staff governors and partner governors who represent local organisations that we work closely with.
The Council of Governors helps to hold the Trust to account to local people. They are the link between the hospital and our local communities within Warrington, Halton and other local areas – ensuring that local people can input into decisions and plans.
Governors are involved in shaping and endorsing our strategy, monitoring performance and engaging with the public.
Our Council of Governors is made up of the following representatives:
- 17 Public Governors - elected by the public members and representing the local community
- 5 Staff Governors - elected by our hospital staff members
- 6 Partner Governors - nominated by organisations we work closely with in Warrington and Halton.
For more information on what being a governor involves read our Guide to being a WHH Governor.
