Get Involved

Get involved in College activities and help improve medical standards for all

Our Fellows and Members across the UK and internationally are the driving force of the College. As a professional membership organisation and a registered charity, all of our work is enriched by the voluntary leadership, contributions and expertise of our global community of healthcare professionals. We understand that healthcare professionals are often busy and have many demands on their time. The College therefore offers a range of ways to become involved in our activities that can fit around your interests and availability. 

Opportunities in the UK to support our community

For UK-based members, we offer a diverse range of opportunities to get even more involved. You can directly influence the future of the College by serving on our committees, covering topics from Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity to Heritage. If leadership interests you, consider joining Council and shaping the College's strategic direction.

Join our Senior Fellows Club

The Senior Fellows Club is home to a community of over 190 retired doctors who get together regularly at the College for friendly meetings, interesting lectures on medicine and sociable events.

Additionally, you can share your expertise by becoming a PACES Examiner on a global scale. Finally, if you're interested in international collaboration, you can provide training or volunteer opportunities for UK-based trainees or physicians.
