THE BOARD

The board’s role is to deliver high quality, person centred care and to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Ayrshire & Arran through robust, accountable and corporate governance systems.

In doing so, NHS Ayrshire & Arran provides a vast range of health services to more than a quarter of a million people.

As a non executive board member, you would be expected to make a full contribution to the work of the board, including participation in its governance committees. More information on the responsibilities of board members is available in the applicant information pack.
