Rest of England & Wales governors
Chris Laithwaite
"Having been a patient in the heart care unit and having had open heart surgery at Wythenshawe I would like to help the hospital staff by way of thanks for everything they have done for me."
"For over thirty years, I have been teaching in secondary education, eighteen years as a head of department. This experience of working with students, staff and parents is something I brings to UHSM. I am also a member of the Trust’s cardiac surgery patient forum."

Alex Watson
"I’m alive thanks to this hospital and an anonymous donor. A pernicious virus attacked my heart in 2002 and I was extremely fortunate to receive a heart transplant in time. With regular check ups at the hospital and twenty pills per day, my heart’s in good shape now. So I do my utmost to make UHSM as effective as possible."
"Through family and friends, in addition to cardiac, I have a strong interest in cancer, lung disease & Infection control."

Clare Church
"I’ve very much enjoyed my role during my 3-year term as Patient Governor. I’ve contributed to the Annual Plan Committee and been actively involved in the Patient Experience Committee. This reviews and helps develop facilities within UHSM by seeking patients & members’ views."
"I’ve had the benefit of participating in PEAT inspections, assessing standards in food quality, environment, infection control, cleanliness, privacy and dignity. Over this time relationships have been forged and I wish to continue supporting UHSM with fellow Governors."
Rev Shneur Zalman Odze
"UHSM is one of the best hospitals in our region, and has some of the best Doctors. Hence, I choose to come here for my treatment over several more local hospitals."
"At a time when we face cutbacks and tough competition between services, I want the patient’s voice to be heard by the decision makers. As a former Councillor and throughout my adult life I have been a community champion, and I appreciate this opportunity to continue to stand up for our interests."

Chava Shoshana Kessler
"I want to ensure greater transparency and openness by the trust, make the complaints procedure better known about and more effective, and to ensure that UHSM puts the patient’s interest first at all times."
"Being a mother of three young children, and being very close to my elderly grandparents, both maternity and long term care for the elderly are close to my heart.”
