Nominations are now open, inviting people to become a governor and be the voice of their community by having a say in the way that healthcare is delivered locally (closing on Tuesday 4 April). Governors are the voice of their community, and form the Council of Governors – playing an important role in discussions alongside the Board of Directors and representing the views of members in their constituency.
Not sure if becoming a governor is for you? Come along to our upcoming governor events to learn more about what life as a governor is like on Monday 27 March at the Whiteleaf Centre, Buckinghamshire or Thursday 30 March at Jurys Inn, Oxford from 6pm – 7.30pm. To book your place email LauraJ.Smith@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk before Friday 24 March 2017. For more information visit: http://www.oxfordhealth.nhs.uk/events
Nominations should be submitted online or by contacting the Returning Officer by 5pm on Tuesday 4 April 2017. Members will be able to vote for their preferred governor nominee once ballot papers are distributed to members on Friday 28 April 2017. More information on the elections can be found on our website and nominations can be submitted online at www.ersvotes.com/oxfordhealth2017.
