We are seeking expressions of interest from BGS members to form a new committee for a new Healthcare in the Community (HCG) Group.
With the NHS shifting more care closer to home, this group, formerly the BGS Community and Primary Care Group, plays a vital role in shaping policy, education, and workforce development. With over 2,000 members, it brings together a diverse range of healthcare professionals, including GPs, community geriatricians, nurses, allied health professionals, pharmacists, and others, who are dedicated to improving care for older people in community settings.
We are seeking enthusiastic and committed individuals to join the committee and help drive this important work forward.
Positions available are:
- GP subgroup representative (representing GPs at this HCG committee)
- Community geriatrician (representing community geriatricians at this HCG committee)
- Education and Training representative (HCG representative on BGS Education and Training Committee)
- Clinical Quality representative (HCG representative on BGS Clinical Quality Committee)
- Research representative (HCG representative on BGS Research and Academic Development Committee)
- Policy and Communications representative (HCG representative on BGS Policy and Communication Committee)
- Meetings Committee representative (HCG representative on BGS Meetings committee)
- Digital representative (looking at digital health innovations/systems in the community)
We welcome applications from all multidisciplinary healthcare professionals involved in community and primary care across the four countries of the UK. Please note, you must be a BGS member to apply.
If you would like to learn more about the committee posts, please contact Joanna Gough, j.gough@bgs.org.uk.
