Join the College
Stay connected to professional interests and likeminded Physicians after retirement
Retired Doctors
Discounted rates across for retired doctors and those working less than full time
As a College, we value the contribution our Fellows and Members make at all stages of their career, and we are keen to ensure that you stay connected with the College when you reduce your hour working commitments or retire completely from professional practice. We offer discounted rates across for retired doctors and those working less than full time, who wish to maintain their support for our work and also their interest in medicine.
Senior Fellows Club
You’re never too young – or old – to join the Senior Fellows Club! Formed in 1992, the SFC now has around 190 members, who enjoy friendly meetings, interesting lectures and sociable events.
"When I stopped working full time it was good to continue to meet old colleagues and new likeminded people in a friendly atmosphere. The lectures are always interesting and continue my life long learning."
Scotland's oldest and largest medical library
We hold over 70,000 books, including a copy of the first edition of the first book printed on medicine - the De Medicina of Celsus, published in 1478 - and almost 1500 journals, some of which are particularly rare. Explore our free museum where we work with other institutions, historians, physicians and scientists to develop exhibitions to make the past, present and future of medicine accessible to everyone.
