Become a member

As a Foundation Trust we have more than 13,000 members, comprising local people, patients and staff, with whom we regularly engage about our performance and plans. 

Being a member of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides you with the opportunity to influence how healthcare services are developed.

As a member you will receive invitations to information and engagement events, including the Annual Members Meeting.

You will also be eligible to vote in our Council of Governors Elections or stand to be elected as a Governor on the Council of Governors yourself.

Membership is designed to be flexible to allow you to be involved as much or as little as you want. Some members just want to receive Trust communications to ensure that they are kept informed about what is happening in their local communities, whilst others want to attend events or take part in consultations in their areas of interest.
