BSH committee vacancies
Volunteers play a crucial role in helping to deliver the Society's charitable objectives. We have a wide range of opportunities for those who wish to get involved in BSH's activities.
The benefits of volunteering include
- Helping us to fulfil our mission of transforming patient care through excellence in haematology
- Getting involved with interesting projects
- Meeting and networking with peers
- Using your knowledge to help others
- Learning new skills
Employers can also benefit from their staff volunteering for BSH and learning new skills that can be transferred to the workplace. This letter which can be printed out and given to employers outlines the benefits of employer-supported volunteering.
The Global Haematology SIG are accepting applications for the BSH Plenary Speaker Programme 2022. Please visit the Global Haematology Plenary Speaker Programme Page for more information.
Please be aware that Committee vacancies are only open to BSH members.
Vacancies are also advertised in the monthly member bulletin; members can elect to receive this on your MyBSH.
We have a fantastic opportunity available to join the Programme Committee, initially as a vice-chair, before becoming chair after the 2025 ASM.
The Programme Committee works with a professional conference organiser and BSH staff to put together the programme for our Annual Scientific Meeting which is the largest haematology event in the UK. The committee uses feedback from previous meetings and consults with the wider haematology community to ensure our ASM includes the latest research and practical sessions for those working in haematology at all levels from students to professors.
As a Vice-Chair, you will stand in for the Chair and help to make sure the ASM programme is well-balanced, and appeals to the breadth of BSH’s membership.
You don’t need to be a subject matter expert or have experience of organising a conference. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with an interest in education, who would like the opportunity to hold a leadership role, to network with colleagues in multidisciplinary teams and to support the next generation of haematology health care professionals.
Time commitment: There are approximately 10 meetings/calls a year however we appreciate you may not be able to make every meeting, some decisions may also be made via email.
For more information about this role, please email Angela Rauch at [email protected].
BSH Image Library
We would like to expand the BSH image library on the BSH website so that it becomes a ‘go to’ resource for both teaching and training for haematologists at all levels. We are looking for good quality typical images of a variety of diagnoses. This might be a blood film +/- bone marrow aspirate/trephine but also could include characteristic features in flow plots or cytogenetic/FISH images.
To start with we would value images of representative cases of acute myeloid leukaemia which demonstrate characteristic morphological features described in their subtypes. A very short description (<100 words) of the case would be valued.
We need good quality images so please refer to the guide on the website as to image size.
As this is an educational website, all images and their vignettes should be able to demonstrate educational value or highlight a learning point. We are keen to reduce esoteric images that have limited educational value.
