As a result of Bank Holiday timings over the festive period, the NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool (UHL) Group Board of Directors meeting in December has been rearranged to take place a week earlier than ordinarily scheduled, on 19 December 2024.
Meetings within the Group Governance and Assurance Framework are scheduled in a specific way, to ensure that the most up-to-date data is available to the Hospital Sites and is presented to the Hospital Management Boards (HMBs). This allows the HMBs to address issues promptly, make informed decisions with the most relevant data available, respond to emerging issues and challenges in a coordinated manner and review the significant and serious risks faced by the hospital prior to escalation to the Board of Directors.
As a result of the change in schedule in December, specific data and reports will not be available until following the meeting. This includes the Hospital Management Board Assurance Reports, with supporting Hospital Site Finance and Performance Updates. The Liverpool Women’s, Aintree, Royal, Liverpool Clinical Laboratories and Broadgreen Hospital Management Boards are scheduled to meet prior to the Board of Directors during the week commencing 16 December 2024. Each Hospital Executive Managing Director will provide a verbal update on significant risks and key areas for escalation at the Board of Directors meeting on 19 December 2024.
The agenda and initial set of papers is published here to support the meeting. Reports will be prepared for the Board following the Hospital Management Board meetings and published on this page retrospectively, as a final pack of papers for the Board meeting, no later than 23 December 2024.
Should Members of the Public have any questions relating to either the initial papers or the final papers following the meeting, please submit these to Daniel.Scheffer@liverpoolft.nhs.uk or Corporate.Governance@liverpoolft.nhs.uk. We will aim to respond to any questions raised following the meeting, and include a summary at the Board meeting held in January 2024.
As with all UHL Group Board of Director meetings, the meeting on 19 December 2024 will be live-streamed to enable those who would otherwise be unable to attend in person to observe the meeting. To join the live stream please click here, and a recording will be uploaded to the website following.
