Being an Advisory Panel member requires active participation. The time commitment includes:
Monthly virtual meetings: Participate in 1-hour virtual meetings to discuss ongoing initiatives, share updates, and make strategic decisions.
Quarterly in-person meetings: Advisory Panel members meet in-person to collaborate more closely with each other and various stakeholders. These sessions provide valuable opportunities for in-depth discussions and planning.
Mentoring programme: A key responsibility of panel members is leading a 6-month group mentoring programme designed to nurture the next generation of digital health leaders (visit our mentoring page for more information).
Additional activities: Engage in activities that support the Network’s objectives, such as contributing to webinars, writing blogs, and supporting community-driven initiatives. Panel members are also encouraged to take part in podcasts, draft white papers, and provide feedback on key policy and programme developments.
By dedicating time to these commitments, Advisory Panel members play a pivotal role in advancing the Network’s mission and empowering future leaders in digital health.
Nominations: Submit a nomination for yourself or a colleague by providing contact details, a short bio and a manifesto (tell voters who you are and what you hope to achieve whilst in the role)
Candidate List: Once nominations close, your details will be published online as part of the candidate list for Network members to vote.
Hustings: Take part in hustings to share your vision and priorities with the community.
Results: The election process concludes with results announced ahead of Summer Schools with elected members invited to attend the event.
