From 2025, new fellows will benefit from a more significant reduction in their initial fellowship subscription fee.

The College is committed to supporting our members at every stage of their career. We want to ensure that membership is accessible and affordable across all member classes and geographic locations. That’s why we offer discounted rates that reflect a variety of circumstances and career stages.  

We know that there can be a significant period between candidates passing their FRCPath Part 2 examination and taking on a consultant position. Therefore, we have made some changes to the fees paid by new fellows by examination to support their progression to fellowship. 

From January 2025, first-year fellows will pay a subscription aligned with the diplomate subscription fee, equating to a 50% discount on the full fellowship rate. For years 2, 3 and 4, these fellows will automatically receive a 20% discount on the full fellowship rate. Fellows who joined before 31 December 2024 will continue to receive a 20% discount across the first 5 years of their fellowship. Please see our 2025 subscriptions page for up-to-date fees for the coming year.  

We strongly encourage members to take advantage of the convenience of paying by direct debit, either annually or monthly. Monthly payments can be spread across 10 equal instalments from 1 February to 1 November, allowing for easier financial management. 

Please see our membership pages for more information on membership options, subscriptions and the benefits of joining the College
