RCS announces free membership during parental leave

We are thrilled to announce as of 1 October 2019, all surgical and FDS subscription fees (including member, fellow, affiliate and associate fees) will be free for those during parental leave.

We believe in supporting surgeons during pregnancy and throughout parenthood, a key objective of our Women in Surgery network. Our members are at the heart of what we do as an organisation and we are acutely aware of the financial demands placed upon them.

Further to this, we have collated a range of helpful information and key resources for those embarking on parental leave to support our members during this period. This content is correct as of November 2019. Please be advised that facts may change and you should always refer to the current gov.uk guidelines.

Please contact our Membership Support Team to confirm details of your parental leave or if you have any queries relating to your membership.
