New Consultants Committee Representatives
We would like to hear from new consultant pathologists and clinical scientists who are interested in joining the College's New Consultants Committee. This newly-established committee is made up of new consultants representing all specialties, with representatives from all the College's regions, and exists to advise Council on matters concerning new consultants across all specialities in the UK.
Why should I apply?
This is a great opportunity for you to make a difference, with a chance to inform debate on matters including the professional, clinical and continuing professional education functions relating to College members who are new consultants. It is also a chance for you to network with your peers, get involved with the College and support your professional development.
The Royal College of Pathologists has a key role in the professional aspects of pathology services in the development and delivery of health care. Those holding office in the College provide professional leadership, and thereby contribute at a national level to the maintenance and development of pathology services and the quality of care that patients receive.
We are committed to increasing diversity and inclusion within our organisation, as well as using our voice and platform to help make pathology as a profession more inclusive. This means reflecting critically on issues of diversity and inclusion within all that we do, identifying and taking appropriate actions to reduce inequality, and welcoming challenge.
We welcome applications from anyone regardless of their disability, ethnicity, heritage, gender, sexuality, religion or socio-economic background.
What roles are available?
Representatives from all specialties are sought.
What's the commitment?
- Attendance at 3 Committee meetings per year.
