Dear BASS and BSS Members,

The 2022 BOA Future Leaders Programme (FLP) has launched and applications are now open.
Both the British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS) and the British Scoliosis Society (BSS) will be sponsoring one fellow each for the 2022 FLP. These two places are only open to members of BASS and BSS. Applications will close on 6th September 2021.

To be eligible to take part in the programme, when the programme runs, you must be either:
•    A senior trainee (ST8 or above)
•    A newly appointed consultant (less than 3 years)
•    An SAS Surgeon (FRCS Tr & Orth)
•    A post-CCT Surgeon

The successful candidate must also be a BOA member when the programme runs to be eligible to take part.
BASS and BSS will have panels to select the successful candidate for these society-funded places. All applications will be anonymised by the BOA to reduce the potential for unconscious bias.

Please download the Main BOA Future Leaders Programme application form, provide your CV and complete the Equality and Diversity Monitoring form. Send your completed application to policy@boa.ac.uk

More information on the FLP and how to apply is on the BOA website at boa.ac.uk/flp
