Our structure
Our NHS organisation is a Foundation Trust. As a Foundation Trust, decisions are made by our Board of Directors and overseen by our Council of Governors.
The Board of Directors that runs our Trust has responsibility for what we do. Our Board has two types of directors:
- Our executive directors have responsibility for the day-to-day running of the Trust. Some executive directors can vote at the Board and some cannot.
- Our non-executive directors provide an independent check on how well the Trust runs.
Some ESNEFT staff and members of the public are part of our Council of Governors. The Council share their views of our services with the Board.
The Council of Governors has three types of members:
- Public governors
- Staff governors
- Stakeholder Governors
Our Chair oversees the Board of Directors and the Council of Governors.
You can sign up as a public member to get the latest updates and opportunities to be more involved.
