Honorary Membership

Among the most prestigious awards of the Society, Honorary Membership is an award made in recognition of exceptional services to the Society.  It is made after careful consideration and scrutiny at the discretion of the BNMS Council.

Honorary Members are exempt from membership fees and may attend BNMS Annual Spring meeting free of charge (social events are not included).  

Honorary Membership is normally for life. Council or Officers may revoke the honour in exceptional circumstances.

Honorary membership does not come with full member benefits. Honorary members cannot vote in BNMS elections or ballots. Some Honorary members may choose to continue their full membership subscription to receive full membership benefits including our journal, Medicine Communications (NMC) and voting rights.

Criteria:

  • Individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the Society.
  • To have been members of the Society for at least ten years.
  • To be retired from clinical practice and other professional work
  • It is usual that Past-Presidents, on fulfilling the criteria above, will be awarded with Honorary Membership.

Nomination Process:

Any member in good standing may nominate a candidate through the online contact form, to include details of the nominee with a short written justification including their personal impact on BNMS and any supporting evidence. (up to 500 words).  Self nominations will not be accepted.

Applications can be submitted annually from September to 31st October.

Award Process:

Nominations will be reviewed by Officers and ratified by Council at the December council meeting.  Council may award up to two honorary memberships annually.

Successful nominees will be invited with a guest to attend the BNMS Annual Awards dinner where they will be formally awarded with an engraved paperweight.
