Sub Committee Vacancies

Are you an ARNS member and interested in research and education?  Do you have a keen interest in the future of person-centred, nurse-led research and ensuring evidence-based, high quality respiratory education? Do you want to influence national discussions regarding this subject?

We are looking for two enthusiastic individuals to join our friendly and dynamic committee. There will be occasional requirement to represent ARNS at meetings such as round table meetings or consultations. ARNS will refund travel for these if not covered by the organiser. You will also be expected to provide comments and guidance on various stakeholder consultations such as NICE, BTS and others.

The term of office is an initial two years with an option to extend for a further two years.  All sub-committee members are required to attend one meeting the day prior to conference and one strategy day per year, usually held in early November, for which there is an honorarium and travel costs where required. In addition, it is expected that there will be approximately two teleconference meetings per year. You will receive a funded place at the ARNS conference in recognition of this.
