Faculty nets charitable status

We are pleased to announce that, following a successful application to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine UK has now been awarded charitable status as an independent organisation.

The Faculty was formed as an intercollegiate Faculty of the Royal College of Physicians and RCSEd, and works to develop and promote the medical specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM). Find out more at www.fsem.ac.uk

Jacqueline Taylor, Honorary Surgical Fellow of the RCSEd, was awarded an MBE for services to Medical Education and to Health. Professor Taylor dedicated 38 years of service to the NHS, spending over 25 years as a consultant physician, and was President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow until 2021. The College would like to congratulate all those recognised with these deserved accolades and thank them for their incredible efforts and service.
