The Royal College of Physicians Council has announced that the Fellowship is being offered based on endorsement of his colleagues – both locally and internationally. This recognition is not offered to all physicians and indeed many who are under consideration are not offered the fellowship because they have not demonstrated that they have not gone above and beyond the call of duty.
