Staff governors

When staff join NELFT they are automatically registered as members of the trust and can take part in staff governor elections and contact their staff representative with their views.

How do I raise an issue with a governor?

To contact the governor for your constituency, please contact us on 0300 555 1200 ext 54606 or via  corporate.affairs@nelft.nhs.uk who will pass your message to your representative.

I am currently the chair of staffside, and an accredited trade union representative. I have represented staff within NELFT for the last 7 years, and have been deeply involved in policy development, consultation and staff dispute.

I also work as a specialist podiatrist and am the front line of clinical work. I thus fully understand what issues and difficulties staff face on a day to day basis. I will only ensure those problems are considered when strategic decisions are made by the board through my voice on the NELFT governors forum.

The NHS is changing. New challenges face the staff working within NELFT. Voting for me as your staff governor will ensure that these challenges will be at the forefront of NELFT thinking in how to deliver best care by the best people. I will ensure that that voice of staff which is often the voiceless is heard loud and clear.

My experience of working within various committees and Charing meeting will mean I will always engage on your behalf in a proactive way. I will ensure that I am available to meet you, to hear your concerns, which no other governor has ever offered. Thank you for your trust in voting for me. I will guard this trust with care.
