Background
The usual route to Fellowship at our College is by examination, however, in accordance with College Regulations, Fellowship without Examination (FwE) may be awarded to nominees who in the opinion of the Trustee Board meet the criteria.
FwE is not an 'honour'. It is a way of recognising contributions to clinical radiology or clinical oncology in the UK.
Fellows without Examination have the same rights and privileges as Fellows by examination. This includes the right to use the post-nominal FRCR, to speak and vote at General Meetings and to stand and vote in College elections in accordance with our Regulations. FwE is offered under the same financial conditions as apply to Fellows by examination of payment of the annual membership subscription to remain in good standing with the College.
Nominations are open to those who are working in substantive NHS consultant posts in our specialties of clinical radiology or clinical oncology (generally those who were not required to obtain the FRCR as part of their training programme). Nominations are assessed by the Fellowship Assessment Committee and its recommendations endorsed by the Trustee Board.
