The council of governors meets four times each year at locations around the trust area.

Members take questions from the public and each meeting lasts around three hours.

Election organiser Cheryl Watkinson said: “Why not get more involved in your local health services, find out what’s going on and help shape the way services are delivered?

“Your views really matter so why not find out more about getting on board?”
