"Please do consider putting yourself forward for election. There are a range of vacancies this election round and we really want to have representation, as far as possible, from all 4 nations, from the length and breadth of the UK, from the whole MDT and covering the whole life course. Working on BSR committees has presented me with opportunities that would not have otherwise come my way and I've found the work to be hugely fulfilling."
