Fellow

Fellowship is the pinnacle of �� membership - it recognises practitioners who have competed their specialist training and celebrates their contribution to paediatrics and child health.

If you are working in a substantive, non-training post, you can apply for Fellowship:

via registration - if you are on the General Medical Council (GMC) or Irish Medical Council (IMC) Specialist Registers for Paediatrics
via election - if you are not on the GMC or IMC specialist register in paediatrics but have achieved distinction, such as several first-named articles in international peer reviewed journals or national service development leadership roles.
