Can you make a difference?
Are you interested in helping to shape your society?
If so, we would like to offer you the chance to help us deliver our strategic plan by taking up a voluntary role in one of our committees. You will need to be a current BBTS member and have a commitment to the field of transfusion.
As a committee member you will help make a major contribution to the society and our community of transfusion professionals. In return, you are given access to unique opportunities to network, and influence the development of society research and activity. We would not be able to operate without the significant amount of time dedicated to us by committee members, their role is invaluable and ensures the smooth running of BBTS. Members from any specialism and professional level are encouraged to apply from new-comers taking their first steps into the profession to experienced stalwarts hoping to share their knowledge and experiences.
Please email bbts@bbts.org.uk if you are interested in joining a committee.
