Honorary Fellowships (HonFBTS)
The British Toxicology Society (BTS) honours eminent toxicologists with the award of Honorary Fellow of the BTS (Hon FBTS). The award of Honorary Fellow of the BTS is recognition of an outstanding contribution to the science and profession of toxicology, including to the BTS. Normally the recipient will be a member of the BTS, but this is not a prerequisite.
Individuals nominated will have made outstanding contributions to the discipline of toxicology, and will also normally have made a significant contribution to the work of the BTS.
Annually, following the Nominations Subcommittee* meeting
- Honorary Fellows are entitled to use the term Hon FBTS after their name.
- They will receive a certificate and will have their names published on the BTS Website (with permission).
- They do not pay a subscription to the BTS and are entitled to free registration for the BTS Annual Congress.
In making recommendations for the award of Honorary Fellow, the Nominations Subcommittee will take into account the following aspects:
- Outstanding scientific contributions, defined as having driven a ‘step-change’ in scientific thinking or approach;
- Contributions to education and training, and promotion of the science of toxicology;
- Contributions to leadership, management, science and promotion of the BTS;
- The level of ‘prestige’ and value to the Society of making the award.
- BTS Members are requested to provide nominations to BTS@execbs.com
The nominations for Hon FBTS will be reviewed by the Nominations Subcommittee and recommendation(s) approved by the Executive Committee. Successful candidate(s) will be notified in the autumn preceding the Annual Congress. The successful recipient(s) will receive their award at the Annual Congress Dinner.
