Public volunteers sought by NHS

NHS HIGHLAND wants to recruit public members to its clinical governance committee and area clinical forum.

Volunteers from local communities are needed to join board members and senior clinicians and managers to help oversee the board’s work in a number of key management and clinical areas.

NHS Highland chairman David Alston said: ‘These forums are really important areas and I believe it is essential we have lay members’ input to the decisions they make.’

A lay member will be expected to attend five meetings on the clinical governance committee and six meetings of the area clinical forum in a year and be willing to be consulted in between these meetings.
