Annual Members’ Meeting

Every year, we hold an Annual Members’ Meeting where we bring together the Trust’s members, our staff, our governors and members of the Board of Directors. It is a fantastic day where members have the opportunity to find out about some of the great work we have been doing over the last 12 months.

What happens at the Annual Members’ Meeting?

The first part of the day is our formal Annual General Meeting and is chaired by Professor Sue Proctor.

The AGM consists of presentations showcasing:

what the Council of Governors has been doing over the last year on behalf of the members that they represent
Our annual accounts for the past year and reports on how we have used our money to provide and develop our services.
what the Trust has done over the last year and what we want to achieve in the coming year. A film is usually shown which showcases one of the innovations in our services.

There is also a “marketplace” you can visit to find out more about the work of the Trust over the past year. This includes videos, displays and people that you can talk to.

Refreshments are provided and you will have a chance to meet and network with other guests.

Annual Members Meeting 2019

The 2019 Annual Members’ Meeting of Leeds took place on Tuesday 30 July 2019. The meeting covered the Trust’s Annual Report, Audited Accounts and Auditor’s Report for 2018/19.

The Big Conversation 2019

The meeting also included a Big Conversation event in the afternoon. This focused on feedback you gave us in 2018 stating that improving patient experience and involvement should be a priority for us.

Since then, we’ve:

commissioned a report on how we currently involve people and how we can improve
run a Valuing Inclusion of People event in March 2019 which gave us some focus on what’s important to people
set up a Patient Experience and Involvement Strategic Steering Group to develop our Patient Experience, Carer and Involvement Strategy and oversee how it’s delivered

Members of the Steering Group have agreed for us to set up three work streams:

improving the experience of carers
improving service user experience
increasing involvement

We asked the members who came along to the Annual Members’ Meeting to help set the priorities for our three work streams in our ‘Big Conversation’. Their feedback will now be fed into the steering group for this important piece of work. We look forward to updating members about progress.
