The RSM welcomes 25 new Section Presidents

The Royal Society of Medicine has announced 25 new Section Presidents. Responsible for leading the specialist education programmes for their Sections, the volunteers take up their posts at the start of the new academic year on 1 October. 

Professor Roger Kirby, RSM President, thanked the outgoing Section Presidents for their essential contributions to the work of the society: “Without the input of our network of talented volunteers, and in particular the Presidents that lead each Section, the RSM would not be able to carry out its mission to share learning and support innovation in pursuit of better healthcare for better lives.  

“On behalf of the RSM Council, management and staff I extend my thanks to those dedicated Section Presidents stepping down this year. We’re especially grateful for their support in developing the RSM’s specialist education programme during this continuing time of challenge and change. 

“I’d also like to extend a warm welcome to the 25 incoming Presidents. The RSM education team and I look forward to working together with you to deliver this year’s programme of world-class learning for healthcare professionals.”
