The BSG Council is the Society’s principal representative and professional forum. It brings together elected members and representatives from across the BSG’s committees and wider community.

Council provides professional and strategic input into the direction of the Society, represents the views and interests of members, and facilitates communication and collaboration across the BSG’s many areas of activity. It plays an important role in informing priorities and advising on matters affecting gastroenterology and the wider profession.

The voting members of Council come from three areas:

1. Directly Elected Councillors – There are ten Elected Councillors with a variety of experience in BSG roles and with different perspectives in Gastroenterology and Hepatology

3. The appointed Chairs of the Higher Committees
