ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Higher Committees
The higher committees of the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø are focused on the charitable objectives of the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø. From 2021, every Higher Committee Chair now has a deputy chair who will succeed them, to ensure a consistent handover of work. The post holder will spend two years as Deputy Chair, then two years as Committee Chair.
The Society primarily pursues its charitable objects by giving support to its members in their professional capacities. Its purpose is achieved through a series of work streams related to its charitable objects of research, education and training, clinical standards and membership support.
