It ratifies recommendations made by the Executive, sets budgets for the year and ensures that the Society’s aims are being met.
Any member is welcome to attend a Council meeting as an ‘observer’. If you would like further information, please email enquiries@bsdht.org.uk

Are you passionate about your chosen profession? Would you like to learn more about the workings of your representative professional organisation? Do you think you have something to offer your colleagues?
BSDHT would like to invite any interested BSDHT members to attend the next Council meeting as an Observer.
Council agreed that it would make the work of the BSDHT Council more transparent to members if Council meetings were to be opened to invited observers.
A number of members of the Society may attend full Council meetings purely as observers, although numbers will be limited due to space. Applicants will be accepted on a first come basis and no expenses will be paid. Meetings are held twice a year in Northamptonshire.
The next meeting will be held on 7th September 2023.
To register your interest please contact the President by enquiries@bsdht.org.uk
