Lucy Care, Governor
I am the elected councillor in Littleover ward, which includes the Royal Derby Hospital and live within sight of its buildings. The hospital has a major impact on the local area, both through staff choosing to live near their work and the extra services (like buses) that benefit everyone in the area. The hospital also means more traffic (on foot and vehicles) and noise.
Hospital and Council services touch in several areas, including social care, children’s services, registration of births (and deaths). It therefore seems sensible to have representation from the Council on the Board.
I also bring a general awareness of the NHS and medical services through my own, and my family’s, experiences, as well as on occasion being contacted by members of the public about theirs.
My personal background is in engineering and I have a passionate interest in environmental sustainability and hope that these will also be useful in my role on the Board.
