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 United Kingdom.   It is generally for those who were not required to obtain the FRCR as part of their training programme.

Fellows without Examination have the same rights and privileges as Fellows by examination and it is offered under the same financial conditions as apply to Fellows.

Nominations can be made for clinical radiologists or clinical oncologists including those practising in relevant special interest areas who:

• Appear on the GMC specialist register
• Hold substantive NHS consultant posts in the United Kingdom
• Have attained such professional status as merits recognition, and
• Have made a significant contribution to training in either specialty

Any Fellow of the College in good standing can make a nomination.
Nominees must members of the College at the time of nomination. 

Nominations are assessed against the criteria by the Fellowship Assessment Committee and its recommendations endorsed by the Trustee Board.

Please complete and return the nomination form and nominee’s CV by email to the  Governance Team. 

The closing date is Friday 30 May 2025 at 5.00pm. Nominations received after this time will not be accepted for consideration this year.
