Fellowship

Fellowship is the highest level of membership of the College. The College’s first fellows were elected in 1969. A Fellow of the College exemplifies its motto ‘cum scientia caritas’, and is an ambassador for the College’s standards and values in whom the College is happy to signal its pride.
 
From 1st April 2006, the College’s previous two routes to Fellowship, Fellowship by Assessment of Performance (FBA) and Fellowship by Nomination (FBN), have been replaced by a new route to Fellowship.
 
The new route recognises the varying career patterns of members and is designed to be as relevant to portfolio or part time GPs as to full time principals.
 
Members of five continuous years can put themselves forward for Fellowship based on their experience in one, any or all of the six Achievement Categories which reflect the breadth of activity in the discipline of General Practice.
