Member Benefits

For the purposes of subscriptions, the College defines retired members as ‘members who are retired from NHS work and do not have a licence to practice’.

If they continue to revalidate and therefore equip themselves for employment they will continue to pay the normal membership subscriptions even if they have retired from their full time NHS post. If income from medical practice is less than the lower income rate (£35K) then there is a 50% reduction available for these members.

Those members who has ceased to revalidate and are therefore ineligible to continue to work as a medical practitioner may choose one of the following retired fellow options:

(a) An annual reduced fee as a retired Fellow or
(b) Pay a single ‘one-off’ life Fellowship fee.

Either of these choices would have an optional EMJ subscription of £78.00 per annum in addition to the membership subscription.

It will be necessary for you to seek guidance from the GMC on how to remain as a specialist in your field.

Every year a diploma ceremony is held on the first Thursday of December to recognise and celebrate the achievements of those doctors who have passed the FRCEM and the MRCEM and those ACPs who have recently credentialed. Invites will be sent to all eligible graduands in the summer before the ceremony, where graduands will have the opportunity to book for themselves and their guests. Please note, guest numbers may be restricted due to venue capacity but all key information regarding this will be included within the initial invite.

Avoid October’s Energy Price Increase — Exclusive Offer for RCEM members
Limited time green energy deal: Expires 31st October

RCEM has teamed up with energy experts MotherTree to bring you an exclusive deal on your energy bills, which will also support our ambitions towards net zero carbon emissions.

This exclusive deal expires on 31 October 2024 and is limited to 2,000 RCEM members.
Your energy will be provided by Octopus Energy (a 100 per cent green energy provider) and you will receive a £50 credit just for switching.

Why switch?

• A great deal on your energy bills – protect your rates from future price changes (and the October price rise – which will raise bills by 10% for some households).
• £50 energy credit offer: As a special incentive, you receive £50 energy credit when you make the switch.*
• Exclusive deal: This offer is available only to four NHS organisations. RCEM has been selected as one of these.
• A greener planet – By switching, you’re not only saving money but also supporting sustainable energy.

How to switch
Switching is quick and easy, taking just two minutes of your time.
You can be assured that your energy supply will not be disrupted during the switch. Octopus Energy, known for its excellent customer service, will handle the process seamlessly.
How it works:
1. Visit mymothertree.com/nhs-big-green-switch-rcem to register for the offer.
2. From there, head to Octopus Energy to get a tariff quote and see how it compares to your current deal.
3. Switch to a fixed tariff to unlock your £50 credit.*

Access the deal here.

*The £50 energy credit is applied to your Octopus Energy account, provided that you have first become an Octopus Energy customer signed up to the Octopus Fixed tariff, and the first direct debit payment has been taken on your Octopus account.

To benefit from this offer, you’ll need to be a new or existing customer of Octopus Energy.
You must sign up to Octopus Energy via a referral link provided by Mothertree. You will not be eligible for the Offer if you sign up via a third party like a price comparison site.
If the customer qualifies for more than one discount, Octopus Energy reserves the right to apply only one.

This offer is subject to change and may be withdrawn without notice.

You should consider your current tariff and compare this to the quote you receive under this deal; each household’s circumstances will differ.

RCEM is not benefiting financially from this offer.
