Governors' Conferences 2008

Monitor ran four regional conferences for governors and chairs in March 2008.

The events provided delegates with an opportunity to discuss and reflect on the role of governors, looking particularly at how statutory duties are being discharged, and exploring the barriers which may be limiting governors' efficiency.

Feedback from the events was collated, along with the results of an Ipsos MORI survey of foundation trust governors, and summarised in our report, Developing the role of NHS foundation trust governors.
