For the first time, the meeting was combined with the annual general meeting of the Council of Governors and included presentations of the Annual Report and Accounts for 2012/2013 and the Quality Report for 2012/13. Sir Robert Finch, Trust chairman, opened the meeting and welcomed the 100 attendees, saying that the past year had been a seminal one for the Trust, during which the battle over the review of children’s congenital cardiac services under “Safe and Sustainable” had been brought to a conclusion and could now be considered a thing of the past. Bob Bell, Trust chief executive, outlined the four key strategies that are central to the way we work and our successes. They are: G A passion for doing what is right for patients G Clarity of mission and direction A question from the floor during the annual members’ meeting G Good governance and excellent management G The provision of a service that is Mr Rosendahl explained how the built around people, drawing theatre, which will be both a from the global talent pool cardiac catheterisation laboratory and an operating theatre, would A date for your Following working group benefit patients.

I’ve been a patient at Royal Brompton where I’ve gained an understanding of how the NHS works. But I’m keen to learn even more and to support the work of the Trust. “As a Trust governor, I will be able to represent the interests of Trust members and the public. I have been committed to community work for a long time and was on a school governing body for a number of years, which involved participating in key policy decision-making. I am also involved in neighbourhood issues, which necessitates attending council meetings and liaising with local councillors. “I have retired from my job in internal audit in the public sector where I worked closely with management in reviewing and improving organisation controls, risk and governance processes. “Being on the Trust’s Council of Governors will give me the opportunity to contribute to decision- making processes by asking questions that appropriately challenge the Council and to participate in boardroom discussions about the Trust’s performance and its aspirations.” Guthrie McKie, patient governor, North West London “I have been an asthma sufferer since childhood. I am also an ex-smoker and my asthma has developed into bronchiectasis. I have been going to Royal Brompton every two years for my lung function test for over 20 years now. “I really value the work done by the Trust. As a patient governor, my major areas of interest are access for patients and improving facilities. Respiratory illnesses are on the increase in London, partly because of high pollution levels, so I’m also interested in how the Trust will cope with greater demands on its services.” “I am an elected councillor in the City of Westminster where I sit on the Housing Guthrie McKie, patient governor, North West London Scrutiny Committee and have also made representations to the Mayor's strategy on air quality in London.” 3 Charity helps make Royal Brompton and Harefield world class hospitals From their very beginnings, both nursing care programme to work sponsoring a leaf on one of the Royal Brompton and Harefield with heart and lung transplant Supporter Trees.

  • Newsletter Autumn
    Carers News Spring/Summer 2018 Celebrating the creativity of Hillingdon’s Carers ... and what a creative bunch they are! Following our Poetry and Short Story competition in late 2017, an Award Ceremony was held in February at Uxbridge Library and we celebrated all the fabulous entries we received. The brainchild of Peter Musgrave, a long-standing carer for his wife, the competition was run jointly with Brunel University and was sponsored by IBB Charitable Trust. Their funding meant we could publish the winning entries in a beautiful anthology, which is funny, moving and emotional in equal parts. It is entitled Time Given - Reflections on caring in Hillingdon and free copies are available from Hillingdon Carers Centre. and the winners are... Winner: Adult Carers poems Winner: Young Carers poems Winner: Short stories Marlesha Robinson-Brown Daniel Cater-Lawrence (age 6) Edith Cassel The Award Ceremony was hosted by Hillingdon Council’s elected member Carer Champion, Councillor Becky Haggar, no stranger to the demands of caring herself. We were all entertained and often reduced to tears by the readings of some of the entries - it is very different hearing of carers’ experiences in their own words at a ‘live’ performance. The competition ran in late 2017 and was supported by the provision of some creative writing workshops for adult and young carers, generously provided by Emma Filtness, a Creative Writing Lecturer from Brunel University. We were delighted with both the volume and standard of entries and are grateful to Emma, and Peter Musgrave, our creative carer who championed the initiative. Without their skills on the judging panel, we would have struggled to choose between such fabulous entries.
