BHRS Council Elections

British Heart Rhythm Society (BHRS) is looking to recruit new Doctor, Nurse and Physiologist Representatives.  The following positions on Council fall vacant:

  • 2 x Doctor representative
  • 1 x Nurse representative
  • 1 x Physiologist

If you feel you would like to contribute to the running of your Society, please apply to become a member of Council. This is your opportunity to help shape how BHRS develops whilst gaining excellent experience of becoming involved with influencing national policy and gaining a better understanding of national arrhythmia services.

All posts have a tenure of three years and are renewable for a second term after successful re-election. The Constitution does allow past Council members to apply for these posts.

  • The successfully elected candidates will officially join BHRS Council at the first council meeting after the elections. This is usually in October.  This council meeting will be via Zoom.

  • Council work is fulfilling but you should expect to work additional hours to promote the efforts of BHRS

What Council Work Involves…

All council members are expected to attend a minimum of two meetings per year.

In addition to the responsibilities of the position, members of Council automatically become Trustees of BHRS, a Registered Charity and must accept the responsibilities associated with that position. It is advised that all nominees acquaint themselves with these responsibilities; a summary entitled ‘The Essential Trustee: What you need to know’, this can be downloaded from the Charity Commission website at the following link:
