Next elections round
If you missed out on joining a committee this time around, there is always next year’s election, which will take place in Autumn 2023 – further information will be released early in the year but, in the meantime, please do register your interest and we can make sure you’re the first to receive information about vacancies, how to seek nomination or have a chat with someone about committee work.
We know joining a committee isn’t for everyone, so if you are interested in finding out how you can get involved with other activities including mentoring, taster days, guideline development, submitting conference abstracts, and participating in audits, please get in touch.
