Club activities
The Club organises a monthly programme of hybrid lectures that includes fascinating talks on the history of medicine from a variety of respected lecturers. They also lead an active walking group with over 60 members who meet monthly for local walks.
The College organises social events for the Senior Fellows Club such as the annual guest lunch at the College and summer outing. These events are highly valued by the club as a chance to meet with like-minded people who share many interests and experiences.
"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."
The club supports wider College activities by sponsoring academic prizes for trainee doctors, which are awarded to them with a medical certificate at one of our renowned medical events. The club have also sponsored essential repairs in the College library, such as the repair and conservation of an important antiquarian book. You can keep up to date with SFC latest activities in our newsletter.
