Reason for joining the BGS Trainee’s Council

 I have taken part in BGS meetings and events throughout my training. I always find them enjoyable as well as important for our training, development and understanding of our specialty. I am pleased to be able to contribute and become more involved. Having trained in several areas of Scotland I feel I am well placed to understand the good points and challenges of training here and look forward to representing trainees on the councils.

Why trainees should get involved with the committee

I think the BGS is a great influence on the development and improvement of geriatrics and patient care and is also involved with shaping our training. I am excited to be involved and look forward to contributing as well as getting an opportunity to develop the all important leadership and management skills!
