BAPEN Announcements Board
TIM BOWLING HONORARY SECRETARY
There are a number of forthcoming important elections and nominations that BAPEN needs to bring to your attention. BAPEN is always on the look-out for ‘new blood’ from enthusiastic colleagues, whatever professional group or seniority. We are in very exciting times and we would welcome any member to involve themselves in BAPEN’s activities.
BAPEN In Touch No.58 August 2010

Honorary Senior Officer
We are looking to appoint a third Senior Officer, alongside Andrea Cartwright and Becky White. This is usually for a three-year term. The role of the Senior Officers is to support the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer and be part of the Executive Committee (as well as Council). Both Andrea and Becky would be very happy to discuss
this post (
andrea.cartwright@
btuh.nhs.uk
in more detail and
rjwhite14@aol.com). Please could any expressions of interest
be sent directly to myself via email:
tim.bowling@
nuh.nhs.uk .
A resume will only be sought if there is
more than one applicant. The closing date is 5pm Friday 17th September.
Secretary
I am standing down as Secretary at the conference in November 2010, having completed the requisite three years in post. This post, like the Chairman, is elected by Council with the successful applicant put forward at the AGM at the conference in November.
Could I ask for any expressions of
interest to be sent directly to myself via email:
tim.bowling@
nuh.nhs.uk. A resume will only be sought if there is more than one applicant. The closing date is 5pm Friday 17th September.
I am more than happy to be
contacted by any prospective applicant.
John Lennard-Jones Medal
The Executive Officers, Council members and any individual member with two seconders are invited to submit, with reasons, applications to the Faculty for the award of a John Lennard-Jones Medal.
The John Lennard Jones Medal is BAPEN’s highest award and the gift of
the Faculty for individuals who have significantly contributed to BAPEN over a long period of time. Often, but not always, it is awarded to an individual on retirement or departure from BAPEN activities. It is preserved, therefore, for the truly deserving and not necessarily awarded every year. The medal will be publicly presented by a member of the Faculty at the Annual BAPEN meeting.
Applications, which should not exceed 500 words in length, should be
submitted to the Chairman of the Faculty, Professor D.B.A. Silk, via BAPEN Office:
Jennie@sovereignconference.co.uk by 31st August 2010.
The Chairman
Our Chairman, Dr Mike Stroud, is due to stand down at the end of 2011. To enable a smooth transition the Constitution has recently been changed so that the successor is elected one year in advance of taking up the post and thereby spending 12 months as Chairman-elect and sitting on the Executive and Council for this period. We, therefore, need to appoint Dr Stroud’s successor before the upcoming BAPEN conference in November.
Could anyone who would like to nominate themselves for
this position send to BAPEN Office a brief resume about themselves – why they would like the post, why they would be a suitable appointment and what their vision is for the Association.
The word limit for this is 500, and the closing date is 5pm
Friday 17th September. Please send to Jennie Mort via email:
Jennie@sovereignconference.co.uk. Any submissions received after this time will not be eligible.
The election itself is the responsibility of Council rather than
the membership as a whole. Hence, the voting members on Council will be sent the nominations and be asked to submit their responses prior to the conference in Harrogate. The successful applicant will then be put forward at the AGM for approval.
Dr Stroud would be very happy to be contacted by any
prospective applicant. His contact email address is:
M.A.Stroud@
