As an NHS Foundation Trust, we are committed to engaging with both our members and the public. We try to achieve this in many ways, including through regular membership events such as our Annual Members’ Meeting and our Young People’s Event. Our Young People’s Event was created as a result of discussions and feedback from young people and it continues to go from strength to strength. Our event this year will be our ninth and we hope that it will be just as successful. Over the years, more than 3,000 young people with their teachers, friends or parents have attended and gained an insight into our organisation. It’s also an opportunity to discover more about NHS careers, Volunteering, Work Experience and Youth Forum opportunities and how you can become more involved in our Foundation Trust by becoming a member (if aged 11 years or over). As an NHS Foundation Trust with a large Children’s Hospital, we are committed to ensuring that young people have a way to express their views. We therefore have a Youth Governor on our Council of Governors.
