Committees

The CSVS Committees are comprised of members who have volunteered their time to help the running of the Society. There are many different roles available within the Committees. Offices on the Committees are normally held for two years, although sometimes there are exceptions to this. A call for new volunteers is usually issued in the months preceding the AGM, as Offices are normally formally handed over during the AGM.

 

The CSVS has four main committees that organise Society business: the Executive Committee, the Education Committee, the Professional Standards Committee and the Research Committee

Research Committee

The CSVS Research committee was set up in April 2016 to provide information and support to CSVS members taking part in or setting up research projects. The remit of the Research Committee is as follows:

  • Provide guidance relating to matters of research directly to the CSVS Executive Committee.
  • Actively support CSVS members in participating and leading vascular disease related research that is of high quality, uses appropriate methods and is likely to produce good results
  • Support members in the proposals and application for large grants/fellowships
  • Provide research advice and guidance for members via the CSVS website and newsletter
  • Improve and maintain the CSVS research grant programme; review grant applications and provide funding recommendations to the CSVS Executive committee
  • Develop and facilitate research collaborations with external bodies (e.g. Vascular Society, Vascular and Endovascular Research Network etc.) on behalf of the CSVS membership
  • In collaboration with key stakeholders, we aim to develop consensus on research priorities
