The public can ask questions during Council meetings. Normally, the Chair asks members of the public about these at the beginning of the public meeting so that directors can address them at the relevant time.
Any questions should be based on the agenda items. We ask that members of the public notify spft.
2025 Annual Members Meeting
Join us for our Annual Members’ Meeting – 10 September 2025 where we will share highlights from the past year and our plans for the future.
Over the last year, we co-produced a new 5-year strategy with staff, patients, carers and partners – guided by our vision: “delivering great care and improving outcomes together.” This strategy, underpinned by our values of optimism, accountability and compassion, focuses on continuously improving the safety, effectiveness and experience of our services.
We’re proud of our achievements and look forward to sharing more at the meeting, where the Council of Governors will also receive the Trust’s Annual Report and Accounts for 2024/25.
