Get more involved with your local hospital by joining our network of over 20,000 patient and public members for free.

From sharing feedback to being able to stand for election as a Royal Free London (RFL) governor, this is your chance to make a real difference.

By becoming a member, you will receive information about our latest developments and be invited to join members' events which include Medicine for Members and our Annual Members' Meeting.

Membership means that you will be able to elect representatives to serve on our Council of Governors and stand for election as a RFL governor. Read more about our Council.

Sneha Bedi, lead governor and patient member, said: “I became a RFL member in 2017 and I have served as a governor for almost eight years. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience."

“It has given me an opportunity to share my feedback about the amazing work of staff as well as share constructive feedback to ensure that local communities are receiving the best care.”  

“Knowing that my contributions have helped improve patient and staff experience has given me an enormous sense of pride.”

Following our recent merger with North Middlesex University Hospital (North Mid), we will be expanding our Council of Governors, with new elections in the coming months, to ensure the voices of North Mid’s local communities are included.
