Elections

Elections at the Intensive Care Society 

Our work depends on the contributions of members represented on our Council, Committees and Professional Advisory Groups - thank you for committing to help represent your community.   

Elections 2026

Do you want your voice heard at the Intensive Care Society on behalf of the intensive care community?

Vacancies on Council and Professional Advisory Groups (PAGs) in 2026 will be updated in May 2026

Why this matters?

There are two routes to becoming an elected Council member of the Intensive Care Society - firstly via the any member Election pathway and secondly, once elected on to a Professional Advisory Group, the nominated Chair and Deputy Chair(s) have dedicated seats on Council.

The number of Deputy Chairs on Council representing each PAG depends on the proportion of professional membership of the Society - for example Consultant Intensivists have 3 Deputy Chair seats, Resident Doctors, 2 Deputy Chair seats and SAS Doctors currently have 0 and are represented at Council by the Chair.
