Annual General Meeting

We invite our members, the public, Governors, staff and valued stakeholders to join us as our Board of Directors formally presents our Annual Report, Accounts and Quality Account for the year ended 31 March 2022.

We will be looking back at what has been another unprecedented year for us all and hearing about how our fantastic teams continued to work incredibly hard to look after our patients in Gateshead and beyond.

You will hear directly from some of our teams involved in delivering innovations and service developments over the last year. This will include learning more about how our smoking cessation service has supported patients and staff. You will also hear about how our breast services team have worked incredibly hard to recover their performance and deliver a responsive service to patients – an achievement which has earned them a nomination for a prestigious national award.

We will also be looking ahead to the future and showcasing our new strategy and strategic aims.

Once you have registered you will be provided with further details about the location and parking arrangements or access to a Microsoft Teams link so that you can join the meeting (depending upon the option selected when registering).

The agenda for the meeting is available here and remaining papers, including the Annual Report and Accounts for 2021/22. You can find a copy of the Quality Account here.
