Governor Support

Established in 2013, we provide a wide-ranging Governor Support programme. With a focus on quality and relevant content, the governor role in practice and an interactive approach, we strive to equip governors with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to fulfil their statutory role effectively. As part of our governor support offer, we deliver GovernWell, the national training programme for foundation trust governors.

The programme comprises of:

an induction toolkit seven training modules delivered as open courses nationally or in-house for individual foundation trusts
bespoke in-house training tailored to individual council of governors' development requirements
council of governors effectiveness survey with supplementary development workshop(s).

Our governor support offer also provides additional products which are free for our members and aim to keep governors up to date on key issues in health and care that impact on their role.

Last year, 99% of delegates would recommend our training.

I really enjoyed the whole day. I learnt a great deal and I would thoroughly recommend it to any governor who wishes to take on the responsibility of being chairperson. The role-play was a hoot.
