With some of our members coming to
the end of their tenure we have several places available for new
members to join BADS Council. The current Council is made up
of anaesthetists, surgeons and nurses plus two lay members each
bringing their own experience and expertise to the team.
We are looking for enthusiastic
clinicians from all areas of the multidisciplinary day surgery team
(including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, operating department
practitioners, healthcare assistants and other allied healthcare
professionals) of all levels of experience who have a passion for
promoting and driving forward day surgery at a national level and
for BADS as an organisation. We meet every 2 months in London as
well as taking part in the Annual Conference and other activities
throughout the year. As a Council member you would be
expected to participate in one of the many roles within Council
such as conference committee, website team or development of
publications etc. You would be well supported by other Council
members as you become familiar with the responsibilities of the
role.
If you are interested in
joining BADS Council please contact bads@bads.co.uk at any
time.
Formal applications to join BADS
Council are normally considered in March/April each year. To
submit a formal application you will need to be a member of BADS
and to submit a short biography detailing your reason for wishing
to join BADS Council and any recent contributions to day surgery
development locally or nationally, large of small, by email to
bads@bads.co.uk. Successful applicants will be invited to
join BADS Council for a period of 3 years from the following
September.
If there are fewer or equal
applications for the number of vacancies, then upon agreement by
BADS Council, you will be offered an appointment to Council.
In the event that there are more applicants than vacancies, then
there will be a vote undertaken by the BADS members to select the
successful candidates. This will be done by your submitted
biography only; you will not be required to make any candidate
speeches.
Successful new members will start
their Council tenure in the following September.
The full job description for a
Council member can be found here.

details please contact either:
