Honorary Fellows and Members need not be medically qualified and these honours are strictly limited.

Nominations for Honorary Fellowship and Membership are opened annually. You can find more information here.

These awards are limited and may not be made every year. Members by Distinction have the same rights, privileges and obligations as Members and may also apply for Ordinary Fellowship (FFPM).
