Board meetings
The NHS England Board is committed to openness and transparency and conducts as much of its business as possible in a session that members of the public are welcome to attend and observe, subject to available space.
Upcoming meeting
Our next NHS England public board meeting will take place on Thursday 17 July 2025. Please note that dates and times may be subject to change, so please check back regularly for updates.
Members of the public, media and other interested parties can watch a live video stream of the Board meeting.
Attending a Board meeting
If you wish to attend a Board meeting, please contact england.boardsecretariat@nhs.net by 4pm the day before the meeting, and remember to let us know if you have any specific requirements.
Please be aware that you will need to sign-in at reception upon arrival and will not be allowed access to the building until five minutes before the meeting starts. A member of staff will escort everyone to the meeting room.
Unfortunately, if members of the public arrive after the meeting has already started it may not be possible for them to join the meeting.
At the end of meeting, all members of the public will also be escorted back to the main entrance by a member of staff.
Please be aware there will be no opportunity to ask questions during the Board meeting, but once the meeting has ended members of the public will have the chance to ask any questions via the head of board governance related to the business considered at the meeting or to be addressed through the NHS England enquiries.
Asking a question
As a meeting held in public, there will not be an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the board.
However, questions can be submitted in advance to england.BoardQ&A@nhs.net no later than 12 noon on Tuesday 15 July.
Public questions will be limited to 1 question per person/organisation and should be no more than 100 words in length.
Questions must only relate to matters within the powers and functions of the NHS England Board.
A response will be provided at the meeting or in writing (within 20 working days following the date of the meeting).
Any questions received later than the stipulated deadline will be deferred and considered for the next most relevant Board meeting.
