Beverley Martin, Governor

Beverley Martin Governor Biography

Born and educated in Derby, a career teaching biology, a commitment to public service and the NHS since 1960.

Returning to Derby in 1996, I became involved with primary care, dental and GP surgeries, NHS judging panels, PPG’s, patient forums, HealthWatch and Derby Hospitals as an inpatient and volunteer.  Elected governor in 2009, serving 7 years as lead governor until 2018.

I participate fully on many committees/steering groups, including nutrition/hydration, energy/carbon, Voluntary services, complaint reviews and hospital choir.

Meeting people personally within our five hospitals, communities and constituency is extremely important to gain their insight of the Trust.  I value visiting wards and departments, interacting and listening to the personal views of patients, public and staff which contributes to care and service improvement.
