Elections 2026

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

The routes to Council

There are two routes to becoming an elected Council member of the Intensive Care Society

  1. Via the any member Election pathway; and
  2. By being elected onto a Professional Advisory Group, where the Chair and Deputy Chair(s) have dedicated Council seats.

The number of Deputy Chairs on Council representing each PAG depends on the proportion of professional membership of the Society. If a PAG's profession has more than 200 members, they can appoint one or more deputy chairs depending on their amount of members. 

Council vacancies 

We currenly have two Council vacancies. Call for nominations will be announced on 28 September.

PAG vacancies 

PAG Elections for 2026 have now closed. Elections for 2027 will open in Spring 2027. 

How we conduct our elections 

The Intensive Care Society uses a nomination form for the first stage, and the online system CIVICA Election Services for the voting stage.
