Wye Valley NHS Trust invites public to attend Board meeting in Leominster

Wye Valley NHS Trust’s Board meetings will be touring the county each month, starting in Leominster on 6 July 2018, to give members of the public the opportunity to hear about the Trust’s performance.

The next Board meeting will be held on Friday 6 July 2018, 1pm, at Leominster Community Hospital, and Board papers will be available to view the week prior at www.wyevalley.nhs.uk (About us, Trust Board page).

Russell Hardy, Wye Valley NHS Trust chairman, said:  “We want to encourage members of the public to come along and find out about the Trust’s performance and progress, so we are visiting market towns across Herefordshire to make it easier for people to attend.

“These are exciting times for the Trust with lots of challenges and this is a great opportunity for people to see behind the scenes and understand what we are doing to meet the ever growing demand on our services.

“It also provides an opportunity for members of the public to meet the Board of directors and ask questions about items relating to the meeting agenda.”

Future venues include Hereford County Hospital, Ledbury Community Centre and the Larruperz Centre in Ross-on-Wye.  To find out more visit www.wyevalley.nhs.uk (About us, Trust Board page).
