There's no time to lose if you want to be elected to serve on our Council of Governors.

The deadline for people to nominate themselves for the forthcoming QEH Governor elections is 5pm on Thursday 5 December, 2024

The QEH is inviting members of the public in Norfolk, South Lincs and North Cambs as well as patients, and Trust members to self-nominate and stand for election as Governor.

It is your chance to help shape the future of healthcare in our community, especially as we look ahead to the exciting developments planned for the New QEH by 2030.

  • Who can stand for election?
    Anyone aged 16 or older can self-nominate and stand for election. As part of the process, you will need to be a member of the Trust and the easiest way is to apply online.
  • Shape the future of healthcare: Be part of the journey as we transform our hospital through the New QEH plans for 2030, ensuring the community’s voice is at the heart of this project.
  • Your Commitment: Governors have duties to fulfil and meetings to attend but they can contribute as much time as they are able. Training and support is provided.
  • Make a real difference: Hold the Trust’s leadership to account and help improve patient care and services as we work to modernise healthcare for future generations.
  • Gain valuable experience: Develop skills in governance and teamwork as part of the Council of Governors whilst enhancing your knowledge of the NHS and your local hospital.
