Following recommendations from the Society’s 2023 Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Report, we have opened up the Leadership and Development Awards Programme to all members. We believe our members have the potential to become leaders in endocrinology, regardless of their background, member category or specialty. This programme is designed to recognise and nurture emerging talent, equipping you for future leadership roles in our field.

As well as leadership training and support to attend our SfE BES conference, you will receive opportunities to network with senior endocrinologists and get involved with meaningful Society initiatives that will support your career development into the future. Places are limited each year, so if you’d like to be among the first to find out when applications open and receive important updates on the programme, register your email address.

YOU SHOULD APPLY!

“The Leadership and Development Awards Programme has been a great way to network and get more involved with Society activities, especially during SfE BES conferences. There have been many chances to contribute, including chairing sessions and judging posters. There is so much to be gained; being part of the programme affords so many different opportunities. Moreover, it’s a really enjoyable and worthwhile experience."

DOUGLAS GIBSON

MANY OPPORTUNITIES

“It increases opportunities to understand how various committees work in the Society. Just apply for it. If you don’t get it, you will receive feedback to understand what’s missing. You can then work on it and then apply again the following year."

PUNITH KEMPEGOWDA

SO MUCH TO GAIN

“[My highlights are] meeting a wide range of people within the Society, all the support we have been given… as well as the variety of opportunities to be involved in Society activities. Apply, and if you do not get an award the first time, please try again, because you have so much to gain."
