BPS Live is a series of online webinars hosted by the British Pharmacological Society. A webinar is an engaging online event where a speaker, or small group of speakers, deliver a presentation to a large audience who participate by submitting questions, responding to polls, and using other available interactive tools. BPS Live webinars should be no longer than 2.5 hours including time for questions to the speakers.

BPS Live webinars are free to attend and the costs should be covered by sponsorship.

It is expected that the proposer(s) of a BPS Live webinar would become a chair of the webinar and would work alongside the Society’s staff to deliver the event, providing leadership on the programme and faculty. Full guidance for what is involved in this role is available in the organiser guidelines.

Proposers are asked to note that as a BPS Live webinar organiser, they are expected to adhere to the Society’s code of conduct for members . This document has been developed by the British Pharmacological Society to:

•   Fairly and transparently make decisions on wide-ranging proposals from different proposers
•   Reduce the administrative burden Society staff by capturing all requirements from the start
•   Enable the British Pharmacological Society's Committees to review and respond to proposals promptly
•   Enable the Society and events team to review proposals based on relevance to the educational and developmental needs of members as well as relation to other Society activities

If successful, details of any budget that has been allocated to the event and a timeline of planning meetings and activities will be shared with the proposer.
