Become a member

Why not join us to help us provide an ever improving quality of service and to ensure your voice is heard.

Our members are an essential part of our future development as an NHS Foundation Trust. We hope that thousands of people will want to become involved with our work by becoming members or perhaps by joining our Council of Governors.

We are all likely to need high quality, safe healthcare at some point in our lives. We are proud in the Newcastle Hospitals to provide an excellent service.

Our patients, and the public, our staff and partner organisations all help provide broad representation of our local community, reflecting a variety of different views.

We are keen to ensure our membership is reflective of the community we serve, our workforce and that we do listen to what you want. We now also have a Membership and Community Relations Group to work with you.
