Members’ Ceremony
12 September 2024 | Afternoon Symphony Hall, Birmingham
The College Coat of Arms
The elements of the College coat of arms are explained below:
the owl is a symbol of wisdom. the shield, separated by a chevron, symbolises the roof of the house in which most general practice takes place One side is white to represent day and the other black to represent night. The three spaces are occupied by a white poppy, signifying relief of pain and suffering; a gentian flower indicating medicine and the restorative and rehabilitative role of the GP; and, finally, the Greek lamp indicates the importance of study and research in the work of the College and links with the lamp of nursing.
The College arms were granted in 1961 by the College of Arms in England (a separate but almost identical coat of arms was approved by the Lord Lyon in Scotland).
The College motto
Cum Scientia Caritas – compassion with knowledge.
Robes
and insignia
The current President’s gown was instigated in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of the College.
the unicorn is adopted from the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. the lynx is adopted from the arms of the Royal College of Surgeons the gavel symbolises authority. the serpent is the ancient symbol of medicine.
It has incorporated the College arms and reflects the College blue of our modern logo.
The President’s chain was gifted to the College in 1958 It is cast in 9-carat yellow and white gold and consists of a medallion of a white-gold poppy entwined with a yellow-gold foxglove and alternating with entwined serpents in white gold. The medallion of the College coat of arms was added in 1963.
The Members’ gown is black with white facing.
The Chair of Council wears a badge that incorporates the College arms with the names of all previous College Chairs on the ribbon in gold.
The Royal Charter
An organisation or other body can only be recognised as an independent legal entity if it has been granted either a Royal Charter or a Memorandum and Articles of Association by the Board of Trade.
It would be fair to say that there was more than a little resistance to the formation of an independent college of general practitioners in the early 1950s – not least by the three London based medical royal colleges then in existence In view of this, the College’s founders were advised to seek a Memorandum and Articles rather than a Royal Charter – as this was a process that was less likely to be challenged by others. Such Articles of Association were granted in 1952.
The plan had always been to apply for a Royal Charter and this was duly granted in 1967. It was formally presented to the College in 1972 when HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh became the College’s first royal president.
In common with other Royal Charters, the charter is a vellum document with a large wax seal attached to it. It is a valuable document and is currently kept in the climate controlled college archives. It is only displayed on very special occasions.
The College Mace
A mace is a longstanding tradition in British public life. It symbolises two ideas –firstly, the whole membership so that those at the meeting or body are reminded of their responsibility to all members; secondly, it is a symbol of authority so that those present are reminded of the importance of exercising their authority responsibly.
The College mace is made of silver and ebony. At its head sits an owl from the College coat of arms and at its base sits a Scottish thistle. The College motto is inscribed on a silver band midway down the shaft.
It was gifted by members in Scotland in 1969 to mark the award of an honorary MD by Edinburgh University to Dame Annis Gillie who was then president of the College. As a result, it has traditionally been carried at ceremonial events by the chair of Scottish Council. It was designed by Mr Ian Davidson, then Director of the Jewellery and Silversmith Department at Edinburgh College of Art.

President’s welcome
Welcome to the Royal College of General Practitioners New Members’ Ceremony. We are delighted to welcome you and your guests to this very special occasion here in Sheffield.
The RCGP exists to help its members deliver great care for patients. Being a GP is a rewarding and stimulating but demanding profession, and the times when we can celebrate our successes together are very special. Today we formally – and joyfully! – welcome new Members and Fellows to the RCGP; this event marks your efforts and achievements and hopefully will create some very special moments and memories. We want to say “Thank you!” to all of you for choosing general practice, and also want to thank all those who have supported you in your journey.
We hope that today will leave you feeling proud, and will encourage you to find out more about the opportunities that the RCGP can offer. Having professional networks is a key means for career development and personal wellbeing. Whether CPD, peer support, guidance from others at different career stages, special interest groups, and new professional opportunities, we want to answer your questions and help you use your membership to the full and build on this momentum across the next stages of your careers.
The RCGP also advocates on behalf of our speciality, and are always keen to hear your views and ideas. Other parts of this booklet point out the role of your local Faculty, who have representatives who speak for members on Council, and guide the College on members’ needs.
As President, I am elected to represent the members I am delighted that I will meet many of you today in person and to be part of your celebration. You deserve your award! And I am sure it will help you to aspire to even higher professional commitment to excellent patient care. As the College motto says “Cum Scientia Caritas” – scientific skill applied with compassionate kindness. Being a GP is a vocation where interacting with the patient as a human being can matter as much to effective diagnosis and treatment as the technical knowledge. You deserve others to be kind to you, as you undertake this vital work. So please use the RCGP as your lifelong friend and resource –and if you need further advice and are not sure where to go, you can contact president@rcgp.org.uk.

Faculty welcome
It is a pleasure to welcome you, your families, friends, and loved ones to this afternoon’s New Members and Fellows Ceremony in the Symphony Hall in the heart of Birmingham.
It is an honour to celebrate this joyous day with you, on behalf of the Midland Faculty of the Royal College of General Practitioners As I look around the room, I see familiar and new faces connected by the journey we, and our loved ones, have been on to get here. So, look around and take it all in. I very much hope today will create new memories for you to cherish.
You have so much to be proud of.
To our New Members, today marks the start of a new journey As a General Practitioner there is nothing you cannot do. You are an expert generalist and highly valuable medical professional, with a knowledge base and skillset broad enough to thrive in challenging times, while providing valuable patient centred care.
You are incredible. There is no such thing as “just” a GP.
Welcome to the College. You are the College, and the College is nothing without you. It is your Professional Home. The opportunities are out there in whatever direction you choose. General Practice enables you to positively impact the patients and communities you care about Building trust and ensuring relationship-based continuity of care is humbling and a privilege.
I am proud to be Vice Chair of Midland Faculty, the largest and among the most diverse Faculties of the College. The Faculty Board aims to reflect and represent you locally and nationally. We are here to listen and shape our output to support you. I am also here to extend an invitation for you to join us at a Faculty Board meeting, to see how we work. We would love for you to get involved Share your ideas with us. Use the College educational resources, mentorship platform, and networking opportunities to learn from colleagues who went before you. I know it can also be an unsettling time as you adjust to life as an independent GP, so go at your own pace, try things out, and look after yourself.
To our new Fellows, you have proven yourselves to be exemplars and role models for General Practice. Your work continues to inspire us.
As a profession we are strong together. We are rooting for you to succeed, and look forward to supporting and watching you soar in the years to come.
