Where to Find BPOS News and Executive Committee Nomination Information

Updated

The official source is the BPOS website, bpos.org. News, conference announcements and Executive Committee nomination calls are collected in the Recent Highlights section on the homepage, with a "See More" link to the full news listing. For governance context — what the Executive Committee is and how the society is run — use the About BPOS page linked from the homepage.

What Recent Highlights Covers

The homepage's Recent Highlights section is the society's rolling noticeboard. Based on the current listing, entries include:

Finding Executive Committee Nomination Details

  1. Go to bpos.org and scan the Recent Highlights section for the entry titled "Call for nominations for the BPOS Executive Committee."
  2. Select Read More to open the full notice. This is where the nomination requirements and process are set out.
  3. If the notice is no longer on the homepage, use See More to browse the complete news archive and locate it by date.
  4. For background on the committee's role, follow About BPOS from the homepage. The site describes BPOS as founded in 1983 to advance and promote knowledge in psychosocial oncology through education, clinical practice and research, and notes it is a member of the IPOS International Federation of National Psychosocial Oncology Societies.

Checking You Have the Current Notice

  • Treat the website as authoritative: the site states its purpose is to advance education, clinical practice and research in psychosocial oncology, and its announcements are the society's own.
  • Compare the publication date in Recent Highlights with any date given inside the full notice. A newer call supersedes an older one.
  • If a nomination window appears to have passed, check whether a later entry has been posted rather than relying on the older page.

Related Pages Worth Knowing

  • Join BPOS — membership information, relevant if nomination eligibility depends on being a member.
  • BPOS Annual Conference 2027 — abstract submissions are currently open across the full breadth of psychosocial oncology, with a dedicated conference website linked from the homepage.
  • BPOS Student/ECR Online Event — a separate call for presenters aimed at student and Early Career Researcher members.

All of these are reached from the homepage navigation or the Recent Highlights entries themselves.
