Become a Member

As a Foundation Trust, King’s has a membership made up of local people, patients and staff. Being a Member gives you more say in how your local hospital is run.

We count on our Members for feedback, local knowledge, fundraising and support as well as to vote for Governors who represent Members’ interests. In return, you have the chance to find out more about our hospital or get involved in a range of activities to help improve services and our local communities.

To be a Member, you must be 16 years of age or older and answer yes to one of the questions below.

• I live in Lambeth or Southwark
• I live in Bromley or Lewisham
• I have been an outpatient, inpatient, attended A&E or a carer of a patient of King’s or the PRUH in the last six years
• I work at King’s – employees can become Staff Members.
  

Please note: If you are registering your interest as a resident of Bromley or Lewisham we will hold your details securely and, should The Princess Royal University Hospital become part of King’s, we will then add you to our full register of members.
