Our Board
The role of the Board Directors
NHS Boards play an important role in the management and delivery of healthcare services. They are there to ensure that the organisation they are part of is well led, delivers safe, high quality care and maintains good governance practices.
We have 13 board members who sit on our Board of Directors team.
Our Board of Directors strive to build patient, public and stakeholder confidence in the services we provide. They ensure that at the Royal Surrey we:
- Deliver safe and high quality health and care services
- Invest our resources wisely, to achieve the greatest benefit to patients and service users
- Ensure that patients and members of public can be a part of re-shaping health services to meet their needs.
Altogether we have seven Non-Executive Directors and nine Executive Directors who are jointly responsible for the effective management of Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust.
The Non-Executive Directors ensure that the Board practice in the best interests of patients and the public. They use their knowledge, skills and experience to help the Board formulate Trust strategies and actively support and promote a healthy organisational culture.
The Executive Directors meet regularly to address matters concerning the Trust, including matters on strategy and operational management, as well as any issues regarding staff or patients.
Both the Non-Executive Directors and the Executive Directors regularly speak with patients and staff, listening to their views, ideas and concerns.
