Sara’s association with ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ hospital goes back a long way.  Her involvement in the hospital originally came about when a friend was being treated in the Spinal Unit following a riding accident  She realised that after a career in the retail industry she had a desire to 'give back’ and has served the hospital in a variety of roles.  She stepped back after 2 terms as an elected governor to become a volunteer in the Chaplaincy Department.  She was recently elected to the South Wiltshire Rural Constituency to serve her third and final term as a governor in 2024.Â
She was a founder member of the committee of the hospital’s charity, the Stars Appeal, leaving the committee at the end of 2023.
Living in a small village she is well aware of the issues facing rural communities, including social isolation, vulnerable elderly residents with declining health and lack of transport.
Away from the hospital, Sara was elected as a district councilor for 7 years before Wiltshire became a Unitary Authority , was Chair of Governors at Leaden Hall School and is a very keen Bridge  player.
Our staff at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ District Hospital have long been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment they provide for our patients and for their innovation, commitment and professionalism. This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements and it is reflected in our award of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Foundation Trust status. This is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
