BSH VOLUNTEER TESTIMONY
"BSH supports trainees with educational resources and excellent guidelines and I wanted to contribute to that."
Amany I. Mohamed, Communications Committee
"Since becoming a member of the BSH Haemato-Oncology Task Force, I have really enjoyed the opportunity to be involved in discussions around new guideline proposals, as well as reviewing new or updated guidelines before they are published.
It's a friendly, approachable group with a broad range of interests across haemato-oncology - I really enjoy sharing ideas and learning from others in the meetings, which take place every three months."
