Members’ Update

On this page, we have links to our regular Members’ Update – an email bulletin that is sent out to our Foundation Trust membership.

You can find out more about becoming a member, our governors, health events, and more on our Trust website.

We also produce a quarterly magazine for staff and members called “Aspire”. Past editions and articles can be found here.
