It’s BSGE election time again. The Society launched the election nominations, with Honorary Secretary Kirana Arambage saying:

‘Next year we will elect a new Vice President. During our ASM 2022 in Birmingham / Worcester, Andrew Kent will move up to the role of President of the BSGE and Justin Clark stands down after completing his two years as President. I would like to personally thank Justin for all his significant contributions to improve both clinical and research profile of our Society over the years and especially organising the hugely successful first virtual ASM.’

The BSGE has invited nominations for:

  • The position of Vice President who will subsequently become BSGE President.
  • Post of Trainee Representative- any junior member of the BSGE wishing to be considered is eligible for nomination.

Kirana thanked Angharad Jones who is standing down as Trainee Representative, saying:

‘Angharad Jones has completed her second term on Council and will stand down having made a valuable and enthusiastic contributions to the Society over the last 4 years. Well done !!  Angharad and Mikey have initiated RIGS regional courses and meetings specially over the Covid period and helped a lot of our trainees to maintain their gynaecological surgical skills. Thank you very much.’
