Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust Governor Elections

Dear Residents,

We are getting in touch to let you know that the Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT) public governor elections are now open. We would be grateful for your support in sharing this opportunity with residents or community members.

Public governors help shape how community health services develop and ensure the needs of local people are heard. With community services central to the NHS Long Term Plan, this is an important role for anyone who would like to influence local care.

There are six public governor vacancies in the following areas: Canterbury • Folkestone Hythe • Gravesham • Swale • Thanet • Tunbridge Wells. To stand for election, individuals must be a member of KCHFT and live in one of these areas.

We would appreciate any support you are able to give, such as:

• Sharing the information through parish newsletters, websites, or noticeboards
• Posting on local social media where appropriate
• Passing the details on to local groups or networks who may be interested

To help explain the role, the following short videos are available to share:

• Hear from existing governors
• Information session and Q&A

Nominations are open now and will close at 5pm on Wednesday 28 January. If anyone has questions or would like help with their application, they can contact the Governors Team at [email protected] or call 0300 013 2143
