Board meetings
Trust Board and Group Board meetings
In February 2022, the Board of Directors of St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Board of Directors of Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust formed a hospital group, with a shared Executive team and a number of non-executive directors in common.
Our Group Board arrangements
Since May 2023, the Board of Directors of St George’s University Hospitals (SGUH) have met as a Group Board with the Board of Directors of Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals (ESTH). Under these arrangements the Trust Board of St George’s and the Trust Board of Epsom and St Helier have each established a new “Group Board” committee, the “Group Board (St George’s)” and the “Group Board (Epsom & St Helier)” respectively.
The new Group Board committees are formally constituted as committees of the SGUH and ESTH Boards. The Committees act under delegated authority from, and at all times remain accountable to, their respective ‘parent’ Trust Boards.
All business conducted by each Committee is conducted in the name of the respective Trust. In effect, the two Group Board committees will manage both Trusts within the Group. To give effect to these arrangements, both Trust Boards have delegated authority extensively to their respective Group Board committee.
Minutes of all Group Board meetings are published on the St George’s and the Epsom and St Helier Trust websites.
Public access to meetings and arrangements for submitting questions to the Group Board
Group Board meetings, like Trust Board meetings, are held in public and members of the public are very welcome to attend in person.
