BSG Award Principles
The BSG has a number of prizes, awards grants and bursaries that are open to members at different stages of their careers
Being considered for any of these is an opportunity for members to enhance their portfolio and strengthen their career and be publicly recognised for their achievements. Being awarded by a national society can also be a great opportunity for the member’s unit, hospital and trust.
The BSG’s awards and grants programme would not be possible without the work of our judges and the society expresses gratitude for their work.
Principles of BSG Awards
All BSG awards should follow a fair, open and transparent process.
In addition, the BSG has appointed an adjudicator, who will oversee the administration and judging for all BSG awards and grants to ensure these standards are met, and will receive a copy of the attached for each award the BSG administrates. The adjudicator will also oversee any complaints to ensure due process is followed.
