Results

The result of the presidential election will be announced at College Day on Monday 11 April 2022 (hybrid meeting).

The clinical vice president and councillor announcements will follow in the week beginning 18 April 2022.

The RCP extends its thanks to all fellows who have nominated others or agreed to stand for election. The process to stand requires determination and commitment, on top of the candidate’s normal day-to-day pressures as physicians and individuals.
