All applications are sent to the College's Nominations Committee in the autumn. They'll review each application and decide who should be elected to Fellowship.

All applicants will be told the outcome of their application in November each year.

If you're successful, congratulations! You'll then be able to register as a Fellow, this involves paying the Fellowship registration fee, and usually involves a top-up subscription fee for the end of the year.

Once you've paid the registration fee, you can use the FRCPsych postnominals and will officially be a Fellow of the College.

Please note, once you've registered as a Fellow you can't downgrade your membership back to Member.

If you're unsuccessful, you'll be told why and invited to consider reapplying again in future.

After you've registered as a Fellow you'll be sent a certificate to recognise this within two months. You'll also be invited to attend one of our ceremonies for new Fellows where you can celebrate your achievements.

Yes, retired members are welcome to apply for Fellowship, as long as you have the necessary 10 years of membership.

Yes, you don't have to be a consultant to apply for Fellowship. As long as you have the necessary 10 years of MRCPsych membership you can apply no matter what your career grade/job title is.

Yes, as long as you're a full MRCPsych Member and you registered as a Member on or before 1 January 2015 then you can apply for Fellowship if you work overseas.

As part of your application you'll be asked to nominate a proposer and seconder. They must both be subscribing College members but they don't have to be Fellows themselves.

Your proposer will be asked to write a citation to support your application. The citation allows someone who knows your work to tell us about your achievements and the ways in which you have contributed to psychiatry. You should choose someone who's very familiar with your work to write the citation.

Your seconder won't need to write a citation as well, they just need to lend their support to the citation that's been written by your proposer.

Don't worry if your proposer and seconder aren't well known in the College, this won't affect your application. We're interested in what they have to say about you and your work, rather than who they are.

If you don't work with any College members, please contact MembershipServices@rcpsych.ac.uk and we'll work with you to find a solution.

• there is an ongoing GMC investigation or the applicant is under supervision or has a current written warning
• there is knowledge of behaviour that could bring psychiatry into disrepute
• the applicant fails to follow guidance and demonstrate necessary achievements in an application, e.g. not enough information contained on the CV form.

Yes, you're welcome to reapply in a subsequent year if your application is unsuccessful.

When you're told of the outcome there'll be an explanation of why your application was unsuccessful, so this will help you know which areas need strengthening when you come to reapply.

If you need any further clarification, please contact the Membership Services team at membershipservices@rcpsych.ac.uk.
