CSVS Committees
The CSVS Committees are comprised of members who have volunteered their time to help the running of the Society. There are many different roles available within the Committees. Offices on the Committees are normally held for two years, although sometimes there are exceptions to this. A call for new volunteers is usually issued in the months preceding the AGM, as Offices are normally formally handed over during the AGM.
The CSVS has four main committees that organise Society business: the Executive Committee, the Education Committee, the Professional Standards Committee and the Research Committee

- Provide research advice and guidance for members via the CSVS website and newsletter
- Improve and maintain the CSVS research grant programme; review grant applications and provide funding recommendations to the CSVS Executive committee
- Develop and facilitate research collaborations with external bodies (e.g. Vascular Society, Vascular and Endovascular Research Network etc.) on behalf of the CSVS membership
- In collaboration with key stakeholders, we aim to develop consensus on research priorities
