The organisation that is merging with Great Western Ambulance Service (GWAS) is holding workshops for people interested in becoming governors of the Foundation Trust.

GWAS will merge with South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust on February 1. There will be elections for governors in March and April.

Governors will monitor the trust and hold its board of directors to account.

Information events will be held tomorrow at Almondsbury, near Bristol, and on January 18 at Wroughton, near Swindon. People wishing to book a place should email ft@swast.nhs.uk or call 01392 261672.
