There are many advantages to becoming involved in our committees. You can actively influence BMA policy-making and negotiations, represent your colleagues' voices and develop your leadership skills.
Each committee has a few routes to becoming an elected member. In the case of NIMASC, these are:
- Seats/term - every three years, elections for 13 seats on NIMASC for a three-session term.
- Timeline - elections are usually held in November.
- Eligibility - all medical academics who are BMA members and based in Northern Ireland are eligible to stand and vote in this election.
The election section below is kept up to date with details about any running elections, so make sure you keep checking it throughout the year.
