Written on 18 October 2011.

Introducing the Trainees' Council mission statement and your council members:

What we do:

• Aim to encourage the effective training of future geriatricians
• Promote the involvement of all trainees in the work of BGS
• Provide a forum for the discussion of issues relevant to the trainees
• Disseminate ideas and information to trainees
• Promote and encourage high quality research by trainees in geriatric medicine
• Engage students and junior doctors interested in pursuing geriatric medicine as their specialty
• Ensure trainees have a voice in curriculum development and assessment in geriatric medicine
• Represent geriatric medicine trainees on external committees and working groups including:  British Medical Association (BMA); Specialty Advisory Committee (SAC); Royal College of Physicians London (RCP)

Who we are:

• 18 elected representatives from the UK who are current geriatric trainees.
• We have a duty to represent the ideas and opinions of trainees within the BGS.
• We meet twice a year as a committee, but are also in contact throughout the year.

How to get involved:

You should get regular email updates about issues that have been discussed by the committee. Please sign up to the trainees e-bulletin (sign up by updating your profile)
