How to join
Faculties are
‘recognised specialties’, with higher training schemes leading to a
Certificate of Completion of Training from the General Medical
Council. They are listed in College Bye Laws and need approval from
the Annual Meeting and Privy Council to be set up or disbanded.
The definitions for Faculties
and are set out in the College
Bye-Laws and Regulations. A member of the College can join
whichever Faculty or Special Interest Group they choose, and can be
a member of more than one at a time.
The fact that a College
member belongs to a particular Faculty or Special Interest Group
does not necessarily mean that they work in that
field. Equally, it is not a requirement for any psychiatrist
to belong to a particular Faculty to work in that area of
psychiatry.
Specialty
Advisory Committees
The College has introduced Specialty Advisory
Committees (SACs) to replace the Faculty Education & Curriculum
Committee structure.
SACs advise on higher specialist training by
contributing to the development of training to standards set by the
GMC, the College and the Specialty Faculty in a number of
areas.
