Questions
Questions about agenda items must be submitted by 12 noon two days before the meeting to elft.membership@nhs.net Answers will be provided at the meeting, or in writing afterwards, depending on the number of questions and the detail required if contact details are provided.
Questions submitted at the meeting via the Zoom chat function or during the Questions from the Public item on the Agenda may be answered on the day where possible; alternatively we will provide a full reply following the meeting.
Questions and feedback can also be submitted outside of meetings through our normal communication channels.
Meeting Etiquette
By attending the meeting either virtually or face to face you are agreeing that you will not record in either video or audio format the meeting in whole or part.
In keeping with ELFT’s values, we ask all participants to respect the Chair and the speakers at the meeting, and to listen with interest and an open mind.
Meeting considerations if you are joining by Zoom:
-
Please log on ten minutes before the start of the meeting if possible to ensure a good connection
-
Please keep your microphone on the ‘mute’ setting during the meeting
-
The meeting moderators may switch off your video feed to reduce bandwidth. You will still be able to see all active participants
-
If you are experiencing technical issues, please feel free to leave the meeting and rejoin.

We will show closed captions (subtitles) for those who find hearing what is being said during the Zoom meeting a challenge. Instructions for showing/hiding subtitles can be found here.
