People and staff from all walks of life become members. They elect the Council of Governors and help shape hospital services in Barnsley for the benefit of local people.

We consult with members for their opinions through patient and public involvement work. Read our Membership & Engagement Strategy to find out more about our aims and ambitions.

How much members get involved is entirely up to them.
