Being a Member...

What does a member do?

Our Trust members are staff or people from the local community who care about the Trust, want to be kept informed about developments at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust and have a say about how services are run and their future direction. The make-up of membership is varied and all member views are important. Members work with us as we try to develop world-class services for the people of Rotherham and the wider area.

The public membership of the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust is divided into two constituencies. Public membership is open to everyone – the only restriction is that you must be over 16 years of age.

Rotherham-wide: covers all areas within RMBC boundaries

Rest of England: covers all areas not within RMBC boundaries

In addition to the public membership there is a staff membership. Staff can opt-in as a staff member upon joining the Trust or can do so by emailing their name, job title and department to rgh-tr.foundation.trust@nhs.net. All members (staff and public) can opt-out at any time by contacting the Foundation Trust office.

How to contact your local governor…

Each constituency elects their own Governors to sit on the Council of Governors. The elections are run by an independent organisation using a single transferable vote system.

You can contact your local public governor by emailing rgh-tr.public.governors@nhs.net. Remember to put the name of the governor you want to contact in the subject line of your email.

Staff can contact their governors by emailing rgh-tr.staffgovernors@nhs.net. Again put the name of the governor you want to contact in the subject line of the email.

Emails are received by the Foundation Trust / Corporate Governance Office, who then route the emails to the requested Governor.
