Carol Cox
I have lived in Fenland for more than 30 years I have one son and one grandson. I have worked in the voluntary sector for the same amount of years and specialise in mental health I have seen many changes in this time, some good, some not so good. It is important to be as vigilant as possible to enable good practice and management to exist everywhere. There is a constant demand for resources to keep place with modern technology but we must always remember that the patients’ recovery and well being is sacroscent. I have learned many skills within mental Health and management skills by being a committee member and vice-chairman and chairman in Alzheimers' Society Friends of Wisbech Park, Bowthorpe Centre (mental health) and by being a local councillor. I am committed to wanting the best possible Health provision for the area.

Daniel Cichocki
 I believe in strengthening the Trust's connection with young people in our community. Too often they can be disconnected from the services that are there to support them in difficult times. As a student at Cambridge University, I bring to the role experience of public service and volunteering. I have served as community volunteer with Cheshire Police where my eyes were opened to people in very challenging personal situations. I have also worked extensively in team environments with St John Ambulance and as a parish councillor. I believe that my experience will make me an effective voice for all residents of Cambridgeshire. Moreover, as a young governor I hope that I can help the Trust better reflect the diverse population it serves.

Jane Fasham
I am married with five grown-up children. My hobbies are cycling and walking and I am involved in family and children’s activities in Godmanchester. I feel I can bring to the board first-hand experience of the issues surrounding mental health. Following the sudden death of one of our sons I suffered from severe depression for two years. During that time I received both in patient care and the services in the community. This difficult time has given me an insight into the problems facing those who are mentally ill and their families and friends and how they can be helped I was a teacher of children with special needs and therefore bring specialist understanding of the Trusts work in this area. Having recently retired I have the time, energy and commitment to be an active member of the Board.

Bernie Gold
 I aim to represent the needs of Cambridgeshire residents to the Trust’s management team and play a positive role each year assessing that the Trust’s services plan represents the needs of patients, carers and families. I take a special interest in Learning Disability and Aspergers support and, as a Royal Navy veteran and member of the St Neots Royal Naval Association, healthcare for veterans. I also look out for signs of stress amongst Trust staff.
My experience in mental health comes from two family members using services, living in Cambridgeshire and attending board reviews at the Trust since 2003. As a member of Cambridgeshire LINk working groups for mental health and care in the community I can call on colleagues with extensive experience in the provision of healthcare.
You can be confident I will root for the best service funding allows.

Margaret Johnson
I would bring to the Board of Governors a wide range of skills and experiences which I have gained over years in the Civil Service and latterly in Education. I have been my father’s primary carer, until his recent death, looking after his physical, social and financial wellbeing thus having first hand experience of patient needs. I communicate readily with people generally, medics and patients alike, appreciating various points of view. I am interested in the equitable management of the NHS Trust and am concerned that mental wellbeing should be an important aspect, that people less able to represent themselves should have a voice. I am keen that carer’s concerns should not be overlooked, that the elderly should be given adequate consideration while remembering mental illness strikes all ages and stages indiscriminately. I would like Cambridgeshire NHS Trust to be at the forefront of mental health care for all.

Diane Mary Armitage
 During the last 26 years I have been doing voluntary work in mental health, starting at Centre 17 in Peterborough and I am now at NHS Mental Health day services running a women’s support group. In 2009 I received my 20 year certificate for voluntary work from Peterborough NHS Trust. I started at Fenland house taking patients to chapel. I then went to PDH Reception desk at ICU and CCU, currently I am at the Macmillan day centre, all of which has been very interesting and rewarding. I am a committee member on the 87 Club Marholm which raises funds for Hospital at Home. Over the years I have seen numerous changes and learnt many things connected to both Peterborough NHS Trust and Mental Health as a volunteer. I feel that I could continue to put something into the NHS Foundation Trust that serves us so well.

Ian Arnott
 My interest in mental health comes from my own experience of having suffered from long lasting severe depression and anxiety a few years ago. I had extensive contact with the Trust as a patient, eventually recovering only after a course of ECT. Since then I have been completely well. I am also aware of the effects of mental illness on families as my brother has bipolar disorder. I have lived in Peterborough for 28 years and am semi-retired.
Since being elected as a governor in 2008 I have tried to be as active as possible, including serving on the patient experience group and helping with service user events locally. I am a volunteer wth the mental health chaplaincy team at the Cavell Centre.
I would like to see the Trust provide the best possible care and treatment for people in Peterborough with mental health difficulties, and this is my principal aim as a governor.

Michael Farmiloe
 I am a family man who has lived in Peterborough since the 1980’s. My working life has been spent as a lawyer within large private and public sector organisations. I have had a lifelong interest in mental health issues and have over the years provided support to those touched or directly affected by mental illness. I believe I know something of how patients and carers feel, the importance to them of prompt support and access to the best treatment, and of the frustrations they sometimes experience. I am independently minded and am prepared to question and challenge how things are done as well as being supportive to those who seek to provide a good service. I will work to do all that I can on behalf of both patients and carers with the objective of ensuring that they receive the very best in mental health services.

Yvonne Dawson
I am employed in the voluntary sector. My background was in elder care, as registered manager of a home. I now line manage services for people with profound learning disabilities, complex needs, older people, frail elderly, enduring mental health, homeless and a mother and baby unit. I know there have been occasions when people with ‘special needs’ have not always received the best or most appropriate service to meet their needs during hospital stays. I feel my experience across the varied client groups would be invaluable. I am a SCIP trainer, and my knowledge and background recognises a consistent approach for individuals with a learning disability, makes their hospital stay more successful. The support given to staff is equally of value, employers need to retain committed, competent staff to deliver consistent care and support. Managing budgets will always be a challenge; innovation is key, in these difficult financial times

Robert Brotchie
 With an eighteen year career operating within the health economy, throughout the Eastern region, I have been an emergency call handler, paramedic, (land & air), MAGPAS volunteer and currently a manager of performance and operations for the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Throughout my service I have recognised periods of a disparity between that of our emergency ambulance response provision, the acute hospitals, Primary Care and Police and our collective ability to link collaboratively as well as we might like with regional mental health services. This is a gap, perceived or otherwise, that I would like to help address.
I believe my multi agency health engagement experience will bring a fresh perspective on this and other issues to help facilitate the best possible service provision to those current and future members of our society who are vulnerable, in need and who may be in crisis.

Jemima Atkinson
Much to my astonishment I was elected as a carer governor in 2010. I cared for my husband who suffered from Vascular Dementia from 2000 – 2007 when he died. My mother was the 3rd generation to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and, in October 2010, died in a care home in Bottisham. I have been involved in fundraising for the Alzheimer Society, raising £3500 from walking on the Great Wall of China in my husband’s memory, and £3000 in 2010 in my mother's memory, when I went with the Society to Nepal. Last year I joined a befriending scheme through the Trust, which involves visiting regularly someone who is caring for someone in their own home. I know from personal experience that having someone, other than family, to turn to can be a lifeline. I am in the process of setting up groups in different parts of Cambridge, with someone from the Trust, so they can meet for a cup of coffee and a chat. My ultimate goal is for there to be a dementia nurse in every surgery in the country and education for the medical profession starting at the top and down to medical students. I have recently returned from the Alzheimer Conference in London, where eminent consultants as well as memebrs of the public talked about what it was like to suffer from dementia themselves. I am networking with Crossroads to start a service which will provide respite for carers in their own home and will not cost a fortune. Additionally, I am working with the Trust in co-chairing a Care Participation Group every two months.

Kailash Ludhor
 I have been working within CPFT for 11 years as a learning disability nurse and have always been committed to improving staff welfare within the Trust. I am currently staff-side chair and in this position I am responsible for ensuring that staff views and opinions are relayed to senior managers. I have a proven track in representing staff views and delivering a high quality care. I am self-motivated, dynamic, good negotiator and can communicate at all levels. I believe that staff are key stake-holders within the organisation and as such they must have their views included in the future development and direction of the Trust.
If elected I will serve as a link between staff and the board, focus on important issues by keeping staff support, learning and development at the heart of the Agenda. I promise to represent staff views reasonably and in good faith.

Rod Rivers
 I first came into contact with the Trust three years ago having come from a career which specialised in user experience, usability issues and stakeholders engagement. I was immediately interested in the service and user experience and how it might be improved. I currently work for the Trust on a fixed term contract within Informatics and am keen to develop roles related to the service user perspective. I can contribute substantial knowledge and skills in user-centred approached and welcome the opportunity to be involved in this at a Trust-wide level. As an employee of CPFT I am gaining familiarity with the approximately 142 teams working within the Trust. My skills are based on many years of experience in systems consultancy and collaborative project management, team leading and helping diverse user groups formulate visions, strategies and plans. I am a supporter of the Recovery approach being adopted by the Trust.
