Annual general meeting (AGM) of fellows and Linacre lecture 2026

Yes. 

All eligible fellows are automatically registered for online attendance at the AGM.

Fellows will receive an email from Civica Election Services (CES) on Wednesday 16 September 2026, which will include a link to watch the full AGM broadcast. This email will be sent from invite@CESjoinIN.com. Please check your junk/spam folders. 

If you have not received an email by Thursday 17 September 2026, please email membershipqueries@rcp.ac.uk or call +44 (0)1513181979, 01513182187 or +44 (0)2030751362.  

The link you are provided with in your registration and any reminder emails must not be circulated to non-fellows of the RCP as this is a fellows-only broadcast page, in line with Bye-law 4.2(1). 

Please note that the Linacre lecture is free and online access is open to all. If fellows and members, colleagues, family or friends are interested in attending, please use the following link here to book a place.. If you encounter any issues please contact: rcpevents@rcp.ac.uk or call 020 3075 2389. 

Please feel free to submit any comments or questions to senior officers in advance of the AGM to Simon Land, head of professional governance.  Senior officers will endeavour to answer all questions received (including those submitted on the day) at the AGM or post meeting (on a thematic basis) should there be too many to respond to at the meeting. 

Full instructions on how to participate in voting will be issued within the AGM papers and as part of a reminder email.

All attendees will be given access to vote, whether they are attending in person or online.

If you are attending in person please make sure you bring a device with you. Staff will be on hand to support on the day.

Please note that routine AGM business (eg annual report of Council) will be voted on during the meeting by the fellows who are present. 

AGM papers will be made available to both fellows and members but AGM attendance and voting is a benefit of subscribing fellows only.

Papers are made available at least 2 weeks prior to the AGM on the RCP website. At this point a direct email communication will be sent to the membership. Please note that you will need to be logged into your profile to view the papers.

We hope that fellows and members find the information interesting but stress that it is confidential in nature. 

Attendance and voting rights at general meetings are a privilege of subscribing fellows only. Subscribing fellows are required to be in good standing which includes being up to date with subscription to be invited.

Honorary and Emeritus categories of fellowship are non-subscribing and so not eligible to attend or vote.

Fellows who wish to stay for dinner will need to book separately via this link.

All bookings for in person attendance and dinner must be made by Sunday 13 September 2026. We regret we are not able to accept walk-in registrations.
