Governors

Charles's vast experiences in public service, corporate governance and retail management have given him invaluable insights into the requirements of different population groups and have allowed him to seek out ways to assist people to achieve personal, individual and community goals that allow local communities to use available resources wisely and efficiently so that they reach all areas and fulfil maximum capabilities.

Charles also has a keen enthusiasm for his local community development, a passion reflected in his commitment to his local area where he has recently been elected on to Aylesbury Town Council as a Councillor.

Subsequently, Tony joined various local Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) organisations, chaired a local involvement network and joined his local Patient Partnership Group (PPG), before getting involved in the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, initially as a volunteer, but subsequently as a governor for nine years and Lead Governor for the last four.

Her last role was as Project Co-ordinator for newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy.

Christine has always been interested in the ethics of medical research, particularly from the perspective of patient involvement. This led her to become a member of the Oxford A Research Ethics Committee, where she has now been Vice Chair for over five years. The focus is very much on guiding researchers to keep patients centre-stage in their thinking.

As someone who has worked within the Trust, and received excellent care as a patient, she understands many of the challenges it faces in striving to deliver such care, relevant to the community it serves, and understands how important to that process it is to listen to the patient's voice.
