Membership The ACP is recognised by the Royal College of Physicians and the Department of Health as the specialty association for medical oncologists. Its executive committee is made up of democratically elected clinicians representing the views and concerns of the membership. Membership of the ACP gives medical oncologists an independent voice in the affairs of the Royal College of Physicians, the Joint Collegiate Council for Oncology (JCCO) and the Specialty Advisory Committee (SAC), who supervise training and accreditation. Through this, we have influenced policy on consultant expansion and have contributed to training curricula. The ACP relies on members' subscriptions for funding, as it has no endowments and scant reserves. It is a registered charity and is not funded by the pharmaceutical industry. The current annual subscription is just £50 for trainee members and £100 for consultant grades (payable by standing order) which can be set against tax. Benefits of joining include:
Full membership is open automatically to specialist registrars and consultants in Medical Oncology in the UK. Others committed to the development of Medical Oncology can apply for membership if they have the support of three full members. If you wish to join please request details from Alison Norton. Details are on the Contact page. |
