British Society for Rheumatology Election

Welcome to Your British Society for Rheumatology 2025 Elections Portal

We need your support and welcome nominations from our membership for roles on our Board of Trustees, MDT Advisory Council and Standing Committees.

Positions available this election round include places on our Board of Trustees, which will play an essential role in leading the work of BSR.

There are also vacancies on our Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) Advisory Council which gives important advice to BSR on national issues across the multidisciplinary team in paediatric, adolescent and adult rheumatology.

Our Standing Committees also have a number of positions available and play a crucial role in shaping our work, making evidence-based decisions on our activities and empowering our membership. They also play a key role in designing our education and conference programmes.

Working with us offers many benefits for your career and professional development. You’ll gain diverse perspectives through collaboration, play an active role in shaping our community, influencing the direction of our activities and programmes to ensure they meet the needs of our members and will most certainly enhance your networks.

Your involvement is essential in helping us champion the specialty, influence change and build a thriving community of best practice.

Before you seek nomination:

• Read through the role descriptions
• Look through our Frequently Asked Questions
• Contact getinvolved@rheumatology.org.uk if you’d like more information about a position, seeking nomination for the first time or would just like to speak to someone
• Make sure your C.V is up to date
• Think about who you can ask to support your nomination – you’ll need to have at least two member supporters

Details of how to apply and the election process will be available when you log in.

Nominations period: Tuesday 4 November – Tuesday 18 November at 5pm.

This process is being run on behalf of British Society of Rheumatology by UK Engage.

As a reminder, BSR membership is a huge asset and we are committed to encouraging inclusion, equality and diversity. We are actively trying to increase the diversity of our staff team and volunteer roles. We try to reduce as many barriers as we can for those with a disability, which you can find out more about here. We welcome approaches from individuals from underrepresented groups, including those from minoritised communities, and those with a disability, to better reflect the community we serve and help broaden our perspectives.
