UK Council
The UK Council of the Society of Radiographers is the Board of Directors and the governing Executive Committee for all our activities. Members of the Council are elected from the membership by other members on a regional basis.
All full members of the Society are eligible to stand for election. The term of office is three years. At the end of a term, the elected Council member may stand again for a further term but it is important that members in the region are given the opportunity either to stand for election or to nominate another member to stand. This ensures that Council retains democratic legitimacy.
If you are elected to UK Council you will have a range of legal duties including (but not limited to):
- representing and promoting agreed policies
- representing the trades union and professional interests of all Society members
- developing and promoting the advancement of the radiography profession and the wider radiographic workforce
- undertaking campaign work as required
- encouraging recruitment of members in the Countries and Region(s)
- attending and speaking at national and international conferences, events and meetings
When a vacancy arises, you can nominate yourself as long as you have the support of four other SoR members, who will sign your application form to declare their support.
The SoR is committed to equal opportunities and values diversity in its workforce.
For more information on the role and responsibilities, please see the UK Council member handbook.
