RCP removes membership fees for foundation doctors

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has announced that membership will be free for foundation doctors, removing fees for doctors at the earliest stage of their physician careers. The move reinforces the RCP's commitment to supporting doctors from the start of their professional journey and ensuring that financial barriers do not limit access to the benefits, opportunities and support that membership provides.

Foundation doctors who join the RCP will be able to access a wide range of resources, including educational content, career development opportunities, events, networking and engagement with the college's work to improve patient care and physician wellbeing. The change also means that existing foundation doctor members will no longer be charged membership fees.
