Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the hospital. It is made up of:

• Executive Directors are all full time members of staff
• Non-Executive Directors bring their external experience and an independent eye to decision making and management.
• Non-Voting Directors attend board meetings in an advisory capacity but have no voting rights.
  

The Board of Directors is fully committed to providing the highest standards of care and experience for King's patients and staff. It closely monitors the Trust's performance to ensure that internal and external objectives and targets are met.
