How every member can help • Each individual member can have a vote – unlike the General Election under 18’s can vote • Only the members can vote for the governors • Vote for your governors – they will be the ones who represent you • Voting is a very important member role and a great way to get involved
We’re here to help My role is to: - support the members and governors - aim to have a representative membership - engage and involve our members - communicate effectively with members email governors: foundation.trust@uclh.nhs.uk 8
