2025 Council and Board nominations open
08 Jan 2025
This year, we have four seats available on RCS England Council and five seats on the FDS Board. Can you help to lead the College into the future, advocate for members and future members and drive positive impact for the profession, and thereby patient care?
During the last year, Council members have been able to make a significant and positive impact on members’ lives, drawing upon their own experiences and passions. For example:
- driving a programme of innovation including the Future Surgery Show;
- tackling sexual misconduct in surgery, working with psychologists and lawyers, including supporting the launch of the RCS England Code of Conduct;
- enhancing our global reach through new and existing partnerships;
- supporting Quality Improvement and sustainability initiatives;
- mentoring our Emerging Leaders;
- reviewing applications for bursaries, grants and research awards to support careers in surgery.
A colleague on Council, Laura Hamilton, shared her experiences in a Bulletin article earlier this year.
We are looking for passionate fellows and members who live by our values – collaboration, respect and excellence – and want to work with us to foster a College and inclusive community that our members feel proud of.
If that sounds like you, please consider standing for one of these vacancies. The deadline for nominations is 5pm on Wednesday 5 February. Civica Election Services have contacted every eligible member providing information on how to nominate yourself for a Council or Board role. Find out more and download the nomination forms:
