Governor elections
Governors have the opportunity to influence our work and help develop and improve The Christie for the benefit of patients, their families and local communities. All governors receive training and support and it is an excellent way to learn more about The Christie and gain a real sense of achievement by helping us to improve.
See the elections we have running currently and vote on our governor elections page.
Keeping in touch
Our membership database has around 9,000 public members who have joined over a number of years. As with most organisations today, we use email as the main way of letting our members know about news, information and events from around The Trust.
We currently have email addresses for less than half of our members and we want to increase this number to make sure we can send you the information you have requested and communicate with as many of our dedicated members as possible.
There are 3 levels of communications to choose from:
- General information (sent to all our members) – this includes Headlines magazine, your invitation to the Annual Members’ Meeting and other Trust wide events such as open days. We will also contact you to vote for your governor when elections take place.
- Events and meetings – We will let you know about any departmental events or meetings that you might be interested in.
- Focus Groups and online surveys – this is a great way to have your say on how we shape and improve our services at The Christie. We will email you with information about these as they are arranged.
To make sure we have your correct details and that we are sending you the information you would like, you can complete the form on our website: www.christie.nhs.uk/join and we will update your details.
Of course, if you no longer wish to be a member and would like us to remove you from our records, please let us know by emailing us at the-christie.members@nhs.net
