Chris Shepherd

Chris has been a Biomed Engineer at the Trust since 2013. Working for Trust Equipment exposes you to many parts of the organisation and gives you the opportunity to see how things are working from deep inside. 

In the past he has been a Swindon Borough Councillor as well as working with a couple of conservation charities in the town.

Chris has a good understanding of the challenges facing the Trust, and would like to ensure all staff have an opportunity to contribute to a better future for us all.

Tony Pickworth

Tony has worked as a Consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at the Trust for over 25 years. He was also involved in the design and build of the Great Western Hospital. 

Tony's experiences help him understand what clinical staff need from the Trust, as well as what patients need, and understands the difficulties the Trust faces. He believes this will give him a balanced viewpoint as Staff Governor.

Emma Wiltshire

Emma has worked for Trust since 2001 when she qualified as a physiotherapist. In 2013 she set up the Trust-wide trauma coordinator service which gave all trauma and orthopaedic patients within the Trust access to the services and expertise that they required.

In 2020, Emma became manager of the elective orthopaedic ward. During Covid-19, she led the ward team through several large-scale changes but has now returned to the therapy teams.

From her varied experience, she has a unique insight into therapy and nursing challenges within the Trust.
