Members, Fellows and Specialist Associates who are members of the Faculty can stand for election.

You don't need to be working as a consultant. You can stand for election if you're a trainee, SAS doctor or if you're retired, as long as you're a current Member, Fellow or Specialist Associate.

If you currently hold an elected position, you can't be re-elected to that position unless there's been a gap of one year or more. 

You can be elected to a different role on the same committee. For example, if you're an elected committee member you can't be re-elected to the same post straight away, but you can be elected to Financial Officer, Vice-Chair or Chair.

If you're currently co-opted to an elected position, e.g. to fill a vacancy, then you can stand for election to that same position.

The timetable for 2025 elections is as follows:

Information you'll need to provide

• The names, email addresses and membership numbers of your proposer and seconder, they must be Members or Specialist Associates.
• An election address (supporting statement) of appropriate word length. The word limit is 500 words for Chair and Vice-Chair positions and 200 words for Financial Officer and Executive Committee Member positions.
• A photo to be used on election materials.
• You'll also be asked to confirm your good standing with your country's medical council and with regard to College membership fees.
