Governors
Our Council of Governors has 32 seats available to patients, staff, members of the public and partner organisations. We have a duty to consult and involve our Council of Governors in the strategic planning of the Trust, giving you, our public, a say in how your hospital is run.
NHS Foundation Trusts are 'owned’ by their members and have a Council of Governors to represent the views of patients, public, staff and partners. The Council of Governors will play an active role in building relationships with members and represent their views to the Board of Directors, which has the responsibility of running the organisation and preparing the Trust’s strategy.
Any member of the public wishing to make contact with a member of the Council of Governors can do so via the Foundation Trust Office by telephone on 0161 291 2357, or by email to foundationtrustoffice@uhsm.nhs.uk.

Council committees
Since becoming an NHS Foundation Trust, the Council has established a number of committees led by Governors. The Community Engagement Committee has met three times since it was established in January 2010 and will continue to meet quarterly to, among other things, monitor how the Council of Governors is engaging with the external community.
The Council has also established a Patient Experience Committee, Membership Development Committee and Annual Plan Advisory Committee. In addition, the Council has created an Appointment Committee and Remuneration Committee. For more information on Council committees, please contact the committee Chairs via the Foundation Trust Office.
Register of Interests
Governors are required to comply with the Trust’s standards of business conduct and to declare interests that are relevant and material to the Council. All Governors declared such interests on appointment to the Council of Governors.
The Register of Interests is available for inspection by members of the public. Anyone who wishes to see the Register of Governors’ Interests should contact the Foundation Trust Office at the following address: Trust Headquarters, Wythenshawe Hospital, Southmoor Road, Manchester M23 9LT.
