As an NHS Foundation Trust, we are able to give local people more say in our services and future direction through membership. 

Anyone over the age of 11 is welcome to join us as a member, giving them the opportunity to influence the decisions we make and allowing us to strengthen our links with local communities. 

We want to make sure our members can be as involved as they want to be, and we want our membership to grow. The more people become members, the better we are able to: 

  • hear and respond to the voice of local people 

  • build links with local communities 

  • consult with local people about future developments 

  • raise awareness about a wide range of health issues. 

Membership is free and it takes just a few minutes to do. You can either sign up online using the form below or call us to request a printed form. And if you want to become a member of another local Foundation Trust as well, that’s fine. 

Benefits of becoming a member 

You can do as little or as much as you would like as a member, but you will be able to: 

  • have a say in what we do and help shape our future plans 

  • receive regular information and updates in our members e-newsletter
