Your learning hub
Below you will find the training that is on offer to BMA representatives who want to be involved on the Local Negotiating Committee (LNC) and the Joint Local Negotiating Committee (JLNC). The training offers insights into how to run meetings, negotiating with others and critically how to be an effective representative.
Face to face training for reps in England
There is also a requirement for you to attend a face to face training session. We are currently refreshing our face to face training package for BMA LNC representatives and will schedule training dates in all regions towards the latter part of 2024.
As an accredited BMA representative, you are entitled to paid time off from your employer to attend this training, provided you have given the necessary six weeks’ notice.
Your support network
You will be assigned an BMA regional officer in your area who will have an initial support interview with you, to support you in your role and signpost you to invaluable resources that will help you as a BMA representative. Your BMA regional officer is your point of contact if there are issues at your trust and affecting more than one person.
For individual issues you can:
- contact [email protected]
- use the employment advice webform
- call 0300 123 1233.
You will be assigned a Membership Development Manager in your area who will support you with event arrangements, including attending the event with you, supplying BMA materials, refreshments and advertising.
