Election details can be found on the Election Pages 

Becoming a member of the APAGBI Council gives you the opportunity to contribute to the development of services for children undergoing anaesthesia and surgery. This could involve representing children’s services at national meetings, developing guidelines, standards and educational resources, coordinating quality improvement work and also promoting useful resources for children and parents. It also involves representing and responding to the 1000 members of the APAGBI.

There are lots of additional roles that can kbe taken on within council such as education, professional standards and science leads. This work does require a certain time commitment but is very rewarding.

The full council meets twice a year in London, and once at the ASM wherever that may be each year. We are looking for both recently appointed consultants as well as experienced ones. So, if you are interested in joining us, please stand for election.

The election will be held during March/April 2026 and will be conducted by the Civica Electoral Service. Home Members are appointed for four years.

Newly elected Council members will be expected to attend the council meetings and at occasional ad hoc meetings as required. The first meeting of the elected term will be Wednesday 10th June 2026 (an afternoon face-to-face meeting, preceding the 2026 ASM in Plymouth) – please save the date to ensure availability if elected.
