The Royal Society of Medicine has announced 29 new Section Presidents.
Responsible for leading the specialist education programmes for their Sections, the volunteers took up their posts at the start of the new academic year on 1 October.

“On behalf of the RSM Council, leadership and staff, I sincerely thank those Section Presidents stepping down this year and warmly welcome their replacements into the fold.
