Trust Board meetings
Last updated: 20/05/2020
The Board of Directors meets in public every other month. In months without a public meeting certain papers will be published below. Check back periodically for these to be added to the relevant months.
Members of the public are welcome to come to the meetings and listen to the discussions that take place. Find out more information on attending these meetings and how to ask questions at the meetings in our “Guidance on attending Board meetings” document here. Please note you are still able to ask questions of the Board of Directors by emailing them before the meeting to trust.secretariat@uhbw.nhs.uk. We will endeavour to answer your question during the meeting or provide a written response after the meeting.
You are invited to attend any of our public Board meetings - it is not essential to inform us that you will be attending, although this would be helpful for planning purposes. If you wish to inform us that you will be attending, please contact the Trust Secretariat via email at trust.secretariat@uhbw.nhs.uk.
Papers are available around a week before the meetings. These papers carry a general and press embargo until after the Board of Directors meeting has been held and no discussion concerning them will be entered into until that time.
To view/download papers please use the links below. All meetings are scheduled to run from 10 am-1 pm unless stated below.
