Pat Cooper - Staff Governor

Being a Governor is an exciting opportunity to develop communication between our new organisation and those I am responsible to at Swanage and Wareham Hospitals, which includes cleaners, cooks, clinicians, admin, Matron and Friends as we continuously try to improve working across team boundaries and deliver more personalised and flexible patient care.

My involvement as a Governor allows us to:

• Deepen our understanding of the challenges and opportunities ahead
• Contribute and commit to DHUFT’s vision and values
• Explore the balance between social responsibility and organisational effectiveness
• Look at organisational agility and responsiveness
• Improve the level of public and staff engagement in all our activities.
