EligibilityWho can apply?
Can you reassure me that I'm not out of my depth applying for Fellowship?
I left general practice some time ago. Am I still eligible?
I've not been involved in academia for 10 years plus. Does this mean I shouldn't apply?
I haven't had three appraisals yet. Does this rule me out?

How much effort does it take filling out the necessary paperwork?
Are there any advantages to applying under more or fewer categories?
What proportion of candidates who apply are successful?
Referees

What happens if an application is not approved for Fellowship? I’m on maternity leave. Can I still apply? I only have contact with patients once a week. Should I apply under Clinical Practice? Who can I talk to? Can I have the same person act as Referee for more than one Achievement Category? I’ve got to write my personal statements; how should I do this?
