*The Fellowship Committee comprises the President, Immediate Past-President (Chair of the Nominations Subcommittee), Vice-President, General Secretary and Chair of the Scientific Subcommittee.  Note from April 2024 the Fellowship Committee will be disbanded and candidates for fellowship will be reviewed by Nominations Sub Committee.

Note: Fellows will pay the same rate as ordinary members (i.e. full member or retired member).  Fellows who no longer pay a BTS subscription are entitled to use the term FBTS (retired).  In this instance the term “retired” is defined as either retired from active professional life or retired from the BTS whilst possibly remaining active in another scientific discipline.
