UH Bristol Annual Members’ Meeting: your chance to find out more about your local hospitals
Members of the public are invited to the Annual Members' Meeting
for University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (UH Bristol),
which will be held on Thursday 13 September 2018 at the Education
and Research Centre, Upper Maudlin Street, Bristol BS2 8AE.
Similar to an AGM (annual general meeting), the event is an
opportunity for the Trust to share its achievements of the past
year and a look forward to the next. Doors open at 4.30pm with the
meeting running from 5.00pm to 7.00pm.
With eight hospitals in the centre and south of Bristol,
including the Bristol Royal Infirmary, Bristol Royal Hospital for
Children and Bristol Heart Institute, UH Bristol is one of the
largest NHS Trusts in the country and a major teaching and research
centre for the South West of England.
Jeff Farrar, chair of the Trust, said: "With so much change
taking place in the NHS - increased demand on services and
increased pressure on staff and budgets - the Annual Members
Meeting is an opportunity for people to find out more about current
issues and plans for the future, and to ask any questions about our
hospitals.
"This is my first year as Chair of the Trust, and in the last
nine months I have met so many exceptional people working in the
health and care sector across the region - and have seen how much
we need to do, together, to keep our services moving forward.
However, in the year that has seen the NHS turn 70, and our own
Trust mark 10 years as a Foundation Trust, it is important to
reflect on all that we have achieved as well as the challenges
ahead."
At the meeting the Trust's 'Review of the Year' for 2017/18 will
be presented by chief executive Robert Woolley and finance
director, Paul Mapson. Chief nurse Carolyn Mills will talk about
the progress the Trust has made against its annual quality
improvement objectives. The meeting will also include an update
from the chief clinical information officer about how the Trust is
using digital technology to drive better patient care - followed by
a question and answer session with the Board.
Any questions submitted in advanced will be answered on the
night. To book your place and let us know any questions you would
