Governance

BIOS is governed by a Board of Trustees, all of whom are elected by the members:

• Chair – elected nationally
• Vice-Chair – elected nationally
• 3 England representatives – elected by members in England
• 1 representative each from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic
  of Ireland– elected by members in the respective countries.
• Leaders of Orthoptic Profession (LOOP) Lead

The Board of Trustees meets 4-5 times each year. They are also supported by a wider advisory Council, which meets together with the Trustees twice a year. We have a BIOS organisation chart here.

Details of the current Trustees and Council members can be found here.

BIOS has a clear vision of what want to achieve over the next few years, which is set out in our Strategic Plan.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring that the Plan is delivered and, at the end of it, reporting on our success to our members.
