Meetings of the QVH board of directors (BoD) are held on the first Thursday of the calendar month on alternate months.
Members of the council of governors, foundation trust, general public and media are welcome to attend the meetings. To do so, please register your interest in advance of the meeting by emailing Leonora May, Deputy Company Secretary, at leonora.may1@nhs.net Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis up to the capacity of the meeting room. A waiting list will be in place if necessary.
We welcome relevant, written questions on any agenda item from our staff, our members or the public.
