The Role

As a trainee member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, you are already part of a growing community, who are passionate about patient care, and are leading and influencing the future of our profession.

The Trainees’ Committee is a progressive platform for promoting trainee wellbeing and education. Providing trainee representation at both a local and national level, the Committee advocates for trainees’ interests across a wide range of issues and domains. Committee members play a vital role within the College, advising Council and the President on issues which directly impact on trainees.

This committee is strong and proactive with a motivated membership drawn from all grades across the specialty spectrum. Committee members work hard to engage with a multitude of bodies, committees and individuals in order to promote trainees' interests across a wide range of issues and domains.

Joining the Trainees' Committee is a great opportunity to become actively involved in the College and to help shape the future of medicine. The terms of reference for the role are attached.
