Board of directors meetings

Meetings in Public

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH) is committed to openness and transparency. There are a number of opportunities for members of the public to attend and observe meetings throughout the year. These are the Board Meetings (4 times per year), Council of Governors (4 times per year) and the Annual Public Meeting (annual). In addition to CUH led meetings, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus holds regular open forums, the details of which can be found on their website. (opens in a new tab)

The next CUH  Board of Directors meeting is taking place on Wednesday, 11th March commencing at 3.00pm and will be held in the Committee Room, School of Clinical Medicine, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Rd, Cambridge, CB2 0SP.

On the day of the Board meeting, a member of the CUH team will meet you at 2.45pm at Reception in the School of Clinical Medicine, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Rd, Cambridge, CB2 0SP and will advise when the meeting room is available to enter.

Please note that the Board of Directors meeting will commence promptly at 3.00pm. Any arrivals after that time will be unable to enter the meeting.

Asking a Question

Board of Directors meetings, whilst meeting in public, are not public meetings. This means that there will not be an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the Board. However, there will be a short question and answer session, held in public, subject to time available, when questions that have been submitted in advance may be taken. 

If you would like to submit a question, please do so by emailing: cuh.trustsecretariat@nhs.net by 12 noon on Friday, 6th March 2026.

• Questions from members of the public will be limited to 1 question per person/organisation and should be no more than 100 words in length.
• Questions must only relate to matters within the powers and functions of the CUH Board of Directors.
• Any questions received following the deadline date will be deferred and considered for the next most relevant Board meeting.

The Chair reserves the right to refuse written questions that are not within the powers and duties of the Trust to answer. The Chair may decide to not deal with complex or lengthy subjects in the question and answer session and may choose to respond with written answers only. The Chair has discretion on whether a question can be submitted to answer.
