Our Board

Our Board works to ensure that we are fulfilling our legal and statutory obligations. You can find out more about our Board below.

Acting Chair, Jon Finegold

Jon has been involved with Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) for many years, both in Doncaster and in Nottinghamshire. He is currently vice-chair of the Burns Practice PPG, and has been attending the monthly meetings of the Doncaster PPG Network (facilitated by Healthwatch) for the past five years. A qualified teacher, trainer and editor for books, training materials and websites, he is passionate about the need for effective – and timely – communication: both from the NHS to patients, but also from patients to the NHS. 

Jon is a member of the Independent Monitoring Board at a local prison, a trustee of the Lady Ellerker’s Land Trust (which supports people in financial need in and around Cantley) and is active in the local community in many ways.  He has lived in Cantley with his wife Amanda, a retired psychotherapeutic counsellor, for the past six or so years.
