The agreed alliance of Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Community and Hospitals NHS Group.

Meetings of the Board of Directors of The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust take place ‘in common’, with the Boards of both Trusts present, in accordance with their respective quorums.

The Trust Boards are committed to openness and transparency, and members of our local communities are welcome to observe meetings of the Boards of Common that are held in public.

Please read the important information below on how to observe our Board meetings in public, noting in particular the advance registration requirement for seating, as detailed below.

Meetings in public are held every two months on a Thursday morning, from 0930-1230hrs. The meetings take place in various locations around our communities, and details of the venue for each meeting can be found in the table below.

Observing our Trust Board meetings held in public – registration requirements:

• Email the Board Coordinator at sath.trustboardsecretary@nhs.net by 1700hrs four working days before each meeting, providing your name, organisation if applicable, and contact telephone number.
• You will receive an acknowledgement of your email and confirmation that a seat has been allocated to you (allocation will be on a first come, first served basis, and we are unable to accept requests after the deadline quoted above).
• Anyone arriving on the day without having reserved a seat in advance will only be able to gain access if all pre-registered seating has not been allocated – a space on the day without advance registration is not guaranteed.
• Members of the public will be admitted to the meeting room from 0920hrs.

We welcome questions about anything relating to the powers and duties of both Trusts. Please click here for details on how to submit a question.

There may also be a requirement to hold a private meeting of the Boards in Common on the same day, when the Boards of Directors will need to consider confidential agenda items that cannot be disclosed in the public domain. In these situations, the meeting will be held privately (in accordance with section 1(2) of Public Bodies Admission to Meetings Act 1960).
