Our Council of Governors

Shirley-Anne Wilson

I care passionately about the NHS and believe the staff do amazing work under very difficult circumstances. 

I wanted to be a governor to be a voice for those who feel they aren’t heard and also to encourage transparency and accountability in all the NHS do. 

I feel strongly about health inequality and would hope to see this being addressed and prioritised. All healthy organisations welcome challenge.

Les Hall

A Public Governor needs to be a Critical Friend of the Trust unafraid to raise issues and, if required, strong enough hold the Non Executive Directors to account. I have previously been fortunate to serve as a Governor of the Trust and I believe this will help me hit the ground running.

There are many challenge’s facing the UHMB Trust and I want to be a governor to help ensure that our community’s interests are fully represented and have a say in the shaping of our local services by acting as an interface between the Trust and the community it serves.

I believe it is important for the community to have an input into the direction and priorities of the Trust as It has a major impact on all local families.

I am a Barrovian through and through and now I'm retired I want to give back to my community. I'm a school Governor at two local primary schools one as the Chair of Governors.

in addition to my experience and knowledge of the UHMB Trust governance, that I gained from attending training courses and meetings I have an extensive range of management experience at senior level in the Engineering Industry. This includes strategy development; risk analysis; people development; project management; financial control: contract management and tendering and team building; all by interacting effectively with both internal an external contacts.

Val Richards

As a previous employee of the trust, I am very proud to represent Yorkshire and Lancashire as a public governor. I am very keen to follow the patients journey from referral to completion and looking into the back log of the waiting lists, I am also looking into the staff's health and well being, they have all worked so hard during covid and I don't see any let up in the near future. I am available for anyone to contact with any problems they have at Val.richards1@mbht.nhs.uk

Sue Robb

I want to be able to ‘put to good use’ my forty years experience and knowledge of working in the NHS, to seek to influence the quality of local services and to represent the interests of the public.

I hope to bring my expertise and enthusiasm to the role of governor, to act as an advocate by listening to local people in shaping the future of local health care. I am committed to provide a strong link with the community and I am prepared to challenge and contribute to making the services the Trust provides to be of the highest possible standard.

Sayjda Talib

Lancashire has always been my home and I have first-hand experience of the services offered by UHMBT but keenly follow the progress and achievements of the trust, particularly in relation to health inequalities. It would be a privilege to work as a governor and share public sentiment in a constructive forum to further enhance trust and strengthen bridges between the community and local healthcare services. I bring credibility, critical questioning skills and a compassionate voice. I hope to represent the voice of the increasingly diverse community of Lancaster and Morecambe through my networking capabilities and strive to ensure NHS constitutional values are being upheld as well as help shape future recommendations.

Safiq Master

Awaiting profile

Yakubu Salifu

I became a Governor of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust because I am passionate about supporting high-quality, equitable healthcare in the community where I live and work.

I am a nurse registered in both Ghana and the UK, with over a decade of clinical and leadership experience. Currently, I lecturer in Palliative Care at Lancaster University, where I train future health professionals and conduct research to improve care systems. I also serve as Chief Executive Officer of COMPASS-Ghana, a UK-registered charity advancing palliative care and cancer equity in low-resource settings. These roles have strengthened my ability to engage with diverse stakeholders, interpret complex health issues, and champion patient-centred approaches.

Having lived locally in Bowerham for six years, I understand the importance of accessible, responsive NHS services. My family and I have personally used Trust services, and my youngest child, now four, was born at Lancaster Royal Infirmary. This gives me both a professional and personal insight into the value of excellent care.

As Governor, I would bring experience in governance, strategy, and community engagement. I am committed to ensuring that the Trust’s plans reflect the needs of local people, while holding the Board to account in a constructive and transparent way. I would be honoured to contribute to decisions on leadership, planning, and oversight that shape the future of care in Morecambe Bay.

Joanna Young

Citizens Advice North Lancashire (CANL) is an advice charity here for everyone, whoever they are, and whatever their problem. We know that being sick or disabled makes it more likely that people will need our help. The majority of our clients are dealing with a health problem which means ongoing and frequent interactions with UHMBT for many people we work with. We help over 8,000 people each year in our community.

We also identify policies and practices that are unfair and campaign for change both locally and nationally. Many of our clients live on low incomes and I am interested in being a governor to ensure that the experiences and viewpoints of people experiencing ill health and poverty are represented on the Governing Body.

I have been CEO of CANL for two years. I was Chair of Trustees at Morecambe Bay Foodbank for five years, Chair of Governors at Bowerham School for five years and am presently on the Governing body of Bay Leadership Academy. I am a trustee of the Penhale Fund and the national Poverty Truth Network so I am confident that I have experience with governance and also speaking truth to power!

I live and work in Morecambe as does my family, and as a local resident I also think it's important that we have excellent local health services.

Clare Blacoe

Since having emergency surgery at RLI two years ago, I have wanted to give back to the service that treated me so well. Now I have less teaching commitments, I have time to start a new challenge and learn new skills. It is important for everyone to have a voice and be represented fairly in our public sector and, as such, would love this opportunity.

Having worked in Community Primary Schools in Lancashire for almost thirty years, I have a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by public sector services. I am an assistant head at a school in a socio-economic deprived area of North Lancashire. I understand that children, young people and their
families in these areas are often under-represented and relish the opportunity to remedy this.

I am easy to talk to with a warm, friendly manner.  I volunteer fortnightly at The Gregson in Lancaster, where we run a ‘Brew&Banter’ session to combat loneliness.

Suzie Hayman, Lead Governor

I have lived in Cumbria for 38 years so I am an offcomer but a loyal Cumbrian at heart – it is my home. And I think we deserve the best that the NHS can give us. So I welcome the opportunity as a governor to represent patients and the relatives of patients of UHMB and be at the heart of much needed change, driving improvement and innovation from my professional experience and from my personal experience of being the wife of a patient. I am a Relate-trained counsellor, a writer with 31 published books, the agony aunt of a national magazine, an experienced radio and television broadcaster, an accredited parenting practitioner and a trustee with many years’ experience on the boards of national charities in the fields of sexual health, family issues and of supporting children in care and young people with disabilities.

Michael Burke

I have lived in New Hutton for 15 years. I have been associated with the NHS for 60 years, as surgeon, medical director, UHMBT governor and, more recently, patient. My main interests are in clinical quality, safety and effectiveness. Leisure interests include visual art, mountaineering, cycling and New Hutton church.

John Studholme

Robin Cope

I bring care, empathy and experience of analysing important and complex figures. I am a good communicator.

I have always been interested in hospitals and medical matters. My father was an architect who built hospitals in the fifties and sixties, I was a member of the Socialist Medical Association and I was involved at a senior level in the Samaritans for fifteen years. I am currently a member of the Patient Group of my local practice, and when possible attend public meetings of the Morecambe Bay Trust. I retired recently and would now be able to give my time and attention to my role.

I was CEO of the Lancaster CVS (Council for Volunteer Services) which advised many third sector organisations working in the area and was a trustee of the regional/Cumbrian CVS. I also worked for IT and Homeless charities. I am an examiner of Charity accounts and check the charity accounts of many local charities. I have also been treasurer of several organisations including that of the Eden and South Lakes Credit Union, the Labour CLP, South Lakeland Mind, and am currently treasurer of a Scottish charity based in Morocco that looks after animals. I have also been Chair of various local organisations including Stricklandgate House, Hay Bridge Nature Reserve, Abbot Hall Social Centre, the Cumbrian Fabian Society, and my local residents association. I have been a Trustee of many charities including Manna House where I used to run one of their Winter Shelters for the Homeless.

Kim Cowan

I stood for the position of Rest of England Public Governor because of my strong family connections with Cumbria and my affinity for the Lake District. I have been visiting the area since childhood and lived, worked and studied in Cumbria for several years before eventually settling in Gloucestershire. 

I currently work as an Allied Health Professional in the Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust. I hope this experience of working in a community healthcare setting and in a different Trust will provide a valuable perspective in my role as governor. 

Jane Kenny (Management & Admin), Deputy Lead Governor

Jane Kenny is the Lead Nurse for the Lancashire and South Cumbria New Hospitals Programme.

I am Lead Nurse for the Lancashire and South Cumbria New Hospitals Programme and also support the Chief Medical Officers workstreams within the Recovery Support Programme. My career to date has been at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay with some experience in the private and voluntary sector and overseas working. I feel fortunate in the opportunities my career has provided me with, including the in-depth knowledge and ability to consistently deliver on clinical performance as well as operational and quality standards. I believe my responsibility as a leader is to ensure the NHS constitution is a reality for staff and patients.

I have undertaken a variety of ward and corporate nursing to operational management roles, and this has provided me with a broad portfolio of skills, aptitudes and exposure to national regulatory bodies.

The Associate Director of Nursing role has provided me with a platform to consolidate the skills I have learned to date. Creating the right conditions for staff to flourish has been a strapline throughout this role. One of the key roles is to create the right culture and climate to have open discussions about quality.

I am excited off the opportunity of being able to represent staff on the governing body, and bring with me my professional experience and knowledge. I hope to share the views and where, appropriate, the concerns of staff with the governing body and act as a conduit between staff and the governing body.

Sam Mackinnon (Allied Health Professionals)

My name is Sam Mackinnon and from 24/10/22 I will be working as the Clinical Lead Occupational therapist for Stroke. I have been fortunate to develop experience across a broad range of clinical areas including Medicine, Orthopaedics, Frailty, Stroke and Complex Discharge. This has enabled me to work alongside MDT colleagues across all disciplines. I am passionate about promoting positive changes and ensuring that we can all work efficiently and effectively, to ensure that patients receive the best outcomes. I am excited for the opportunity to represent AHP's on the board of governors and provide a voice for all AHP's. I believe this will be a great opportunity to be able to share the great work we are all doing. whilst being able to also highlight any areas that may require support in their continued development, to help ensure our patients receive the best possible care.

Bob Bain (Estates and Facilities)

I have worked for the NHS in UHMB Trust in Estates and Facilities Dept for 6 years now, in my roles I have dealt with both patients and staff at all levels, I have always put patients first and come across some challenging issues, as a governor I would ensure that patient care and the needs of people who use our services within the Trust at all of our three Hospitals will remain the first priority as always.

I can bring Independance, commitment and willingness and to listen but also question. I care about our patients and staff and the services the trust provides. I wish to bring the knowledge and experience of the members of staff into discussions and decisions about the future and direction of the Trust.

Throughout my working career I have dealt with people at all levels from Board Directors and down, I have always taken the time to listen to people and their needs in my work life, I have a can-do attitude in work and also out of work. I am tenacious and have the ability to see the bigger picture to implement change if needed.

UHMB is a great place to be cared for and a great place to work and I will ensure that this statement is upheld at all times.

Melanie Cannon (Community)

I became a Community Staff Governor because I am passionate about ensuring the voices of community nursing staff are represented at a strategic level.

Community nurses play a vital role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care and supporting the wider objectives of the NHS. I believe governance decisions should reflect the realities of frontline practice. This role allows me to act as a link between staff and the Trust, listening to concerns, sharing ideas for improvement, and contributing constructively to discussions that influence safe, effective, and compassionate care across our services.

I bring extensive experience as a community nurse, providing complex care in patients’ homes and nursing homes supporting independence. I have developed strong communication skills, the ability to listen and represent diverse viewpoints, and experience in problem-solving under pressure. I can

analyse situations objectively, make balanced decisions, and maintain confidentiality and professionalism at all times. I have excellent organisational skills and a collaborative approach, essential for influencing policy and driving positive change. My experience gives me a clear understanding of both patients needs and staff challenges, enabling me to represent colleagues effectively. Additionally, I am committed to supporting staff wellbeing, promoting continuous professional development, encouraging team resilience, and helping create a motivated, positive workforce across community services.

Liz Thompson (Nursing and Midwifery)

I want to shape and influence the next 5 years in Morecambe Bay to ensure that the services offered to my family, friends and colleagues are the best they can be, delivered with care, kindness and compassion, acutely aware that the services that the Trust offer are influenced by the care provision within the community. 
Working in UHMB safeguarding for the last decade has provided me with invaluable experience ensuring that quality and safety are not just spoken about, but actually delivered.

I am not afraid to ask difficult questions and am always accountable for what I do. I have spent my nursing career advocating for patients and families to ensure that they have a voice in their life choices and health journey.

I am proud to be part of the nursing community and passionate in the development of all that work within health care.
With the new NHS 10 year plan focussing on health promotion and health choices, as a Health Visitor I spent 10 years working in Preston promoting healthy lifestyles and prevention of ill health.

I am an effective communicator, well respected within the organisation and looked to for advice and support by my team and peers.
The NHS has to deliver high quality, safe, effective care for all within financial constraints and I welcome the opportunity to influence how well UHMB does this.
