Fellowship Committee Observers Required
2nd February
2010
Two positions are available on the Fellowship
Committee for Observers.
Observers have an important role in ensuring
that protocols for Fellowship are being followed and that decisions
are fair and just. Observers are entitled to contribute to
discussion but not to vote (though decisions are usually made by
consensus).
The Fellowship Committee is particularly keen
that the interests of younger members and those from atypical or
sessional career backgrounds are represented. Applications are
therefore being sought from Members within the first five years
following completion of training (in line with a new initiative to
provide support to these members known as ‘First5’) and those with
a sessional career background. The Fellowship Committee meets twice
a year at Princes Gate. Travel, subsistence and locum expenses may
be claimed.
Applicants must be Members of the College in
good standing. In line with College procedures, the appointment
will be for three years. Interested applicants are asked to submit
a current CV and short statement (max. 250 words) setting out their
interest and experience, and what they think they can bring to the
Committee. Please forward applications to the Fellowship Unit at
fellowship@rcgp.org.uk or by
post to:
Fellowship Unit
Royal College of General Practitioners
14 Princes Gate
London
SW7 1PU
Close date: 26th February 2010.
