Council Elections 2021
Invite to join BADS Council
Please submit your interest
in joining BADS Council starting in September 2021 by Friday 9th
April 2021
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
BADS as an organisation. Before Covid we met every 2 months in
London as well as taking part in the annual conference and other
activities throughout the year. We currently have a virtual Council
meeting every month (2-3hours). When Covid allows we would hope to
restart some face to face meetings. 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.
To apply to join the
Council 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 or small. Closing date Friday 9th April
2021.
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
September 2021.
The full job description for a Council member can be found on
the BADS website.
If you would like any further details please contact either:
Nicola Adams (BADS Administration Manager) or Dr Kim Russon
(President BADS) at bads@bads.co.uk.
