Pauline Williams

Appointed December 2024 – first term

I am confident my experience, commitment, passion and shared values make me an ideal candidate to represent staff and patients.

I am honoured to put myself forward for the position of Trust Governor at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. I have work at the Trust for the past 16 years starting as Team Administrator and now in my current role as Operational Team Manager & Chair of the Race Equality Staff Network. I have developed a deep understanding of our unique mission and values, and I am passionate about contributing to our continued success.

I am committed to upholding and promoting our Trust’s values of Excellence, Inclusivity, Compassion, and Respect. If was elected as Trust Governor, I will continue to work closely with the Board; to ensure that the voices of all our staff, patients and families are heard and that our values remain at the heart of everything I do. I believe that by strengthening our internal culture and adopting a supportive, equitable workplace we as a Trust will continue to deliver outstanding healthcare and support for our patients and staff.

My experiences have equipped me with the skills and insight to advocate change. I have worked extensively to foster inclusivity, champion equality, and create a more supportive environment for both staff and patients. Ensuring that diverse perspectives are not only represented but integrated into our governance and decision-making process.
