Governors have an important role in making an NHS foundation trust publicly accountable for the services it provides, and it is the duty of the council of governors to represent the interests of NHS foundation trust members and the public.
This course explores what it means to represent the interests of members and the public. This includes how governors can support engagement activities within their trust and effectively build relationships in order to present the views of members and the public to the board.
