Governance

The RSM is led by our Council and Honorary Officers, which include our Board of Trustees, supported by a permanent team of Directors and their staff.

Council is supported by a system of committees [PDF 21k]. The RSM Sections are all represented at the Academic Board [PDF 665k] which meets several times each year.

RSM policy issues put forward by working parties or the secretariat go first to committees for recommendation and, if recommended, on to Council for approval or rejection.

The Treasurers and Honorary Secretaries are elected by Council from its number.

The Royal Society of Medicine Foundation serves members of the RSM living in the USA and Canada.
