• Have no outstanding professional disciplinary procedures against your name

All nominations must also be seconded by another member of the Society (Not a current committee member) and candidates are requested to provide a short supporting statement explaining why they believe themselves to be a good candidate for the role. 

Requirements and terms

All committee members are expected to attend monthly committee meetings and contribute to the running and development of the UK Hospital at Home Society, as well as contributing to relevant Special Interest Groups as appropriate. See below for a document containing expected roles and responsibilities.

All roles have a three year term, with the exception of the Presidential roles, which are as follows:

President Elect (2 years), following which they move into the role of President (2 years) and then into the role of Immediate Past President (2 years).

Elections

Following submission of applications, if more than one application is received for a given position, an election will be held. Where only one application is received for each position, appointment to the role will be subject to being ratified.

Applications

In order to put yourself forward for election, please download the appropriate form below and return the completed form to admin@hospitalathome.org.uk by 5pm on Friday 10th April 2026.

We encourage applications from members working across all sectors of hospital at home, particularly including paediatrics.

If you are completing and returning the form electronically, please ensure that it is returned as a pdf, not as a word document, as it will not be delivered correctly in word format. Alternatively, if you would prefer to print and scan your form in order to sign it, this is acceptable too.

Your application must include a supporting statement and must be seconded by another UK Hospital at Home Society member who is not a current committee member.

All members of the MDT are encouraged to consider applying for a role, and we particularly welcome applications to the general Council Member roles from members working in Northern Ireland and Wales, due to the work locations of those committee members who are stepping down.

You are welcome to discuss any of these roles further, with either the member in the role currently, or any of the current committee members. Please contact us at admin@hospitalathome.org.uk, and we will be happy to put you in touch.

We look forward to working with you in future!
