News - 25 February 2019

We are seeking people interested in becoming an Associate Board Member for Healthwatch City of London.

What is an Associate Board Member?

Associate Board Members (ABMs) are a network of committed volunteers who wish to become active in shaping health and social care services but are not required to give the full commitment of board members.

What does the role entail?

Each associate will focus on a specific area of interest, effectively becoming experts in that particular subject. Subject areas could include, for example, young people, mental health or homlessness.

Using more informal and focused approaches, we anticipate our Associate Board Members will be able to engage a wider and more diverse group of people to participate in the work of Healthwatch City of London.

Drawn where possible, but not exclusively, from the local communities, they will support Healthwatch City of London to fulfill its statutory obligations.  

ABMs are not full board members so carry none of the requirement to hold the City of London to account for the planning and commissioning of services to the people of the City of London.
