How we work
Steering group
The BSMS steering group was established in 2002 to provide professional ownership and strategic direction for the BSMS. It monitors the performance of BSMS and is accountable to the UK Forum, through the BSMS manager, for the use of resources and management of the budget.
Operations group
The BSMS operations group are the ‘user advocates’ for the BSMS, and are responsible for bringing the views of the area (geographical or professional) which they represent and in turn seeking endorsement from their colleagues for any BSMS major initiatives/developments.
The BSMS Manager works with the BSMS Lead Specialist and the BSMS operations group to develop themes for the annual educational meetings/workshops.
