Wall of Honour

Wall of Honour

At the heart of the RSM’s premises is our magnificent Atrium, filled with natural light and sunshine.

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls surround the Atrium and it is on this glass that The Royal Society of Medicine has established the Wall of Honour.

By supporting this project, you may choose a person to honour and have their name engraved on the Wall for future generations to see, as a personal way of saying thank you.

Who to honour

You’re welcome to honour anyone who worked in the medical sector or healthcare field.

They might be:

A member of your family, a friend, someone who influenced your career, someone you admired, your GP, an organistaion (Hospital, Hospice), the person who delivered your child/children or grandchild/grandchildren, someone who is working, retired or who has passed away.

Your Donation

All those who donate are invited to attend the special unveiling of the Wall. They will also receive early notification of events and have direct access to the Development Director who can provide information on any RSM matters.

The basic cost to have a name included on the Wall of Honour is £1000.

If you are a tax payer you will be invited to sign a Gift Aid form which, at no extra cost to you, increases the value of the donation to the RSM by £280 to £1280.

If you are a higher rate tax payer, you will be able to reclaim around £230 through your tax return.


Professor Sir Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate (1999 - 2009) has generously agreed to support the RSM. All donors to the Wall of Honour project will receive a signed copy of his poem 'Medicine'

An extract from Medicine
"and the inevitability of earth. It becomes manifest in waiting rooms and consulting rooms and surgeries, in hospital wards and operating theatres and clinics;"

"I decided to support the Wall of Honour project and to honour JPW Hughes who was my father in law. He was inspirational in supporting my aspirations to enter medicine, and relieved when I qualified, as I was able to carry on a long family tradition of medical practice"

"Dr Geoffrey Marr Vevers, my grand-father, was a man of great humanity and generosity. At the time of the Jarrow March in 1936 he bought a row of houses in Camden Town for some marchers and their families. He qualified at St Thomas’s Hospital and worked at the London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. In later years he helped set up Whipsnade Park, the zoo in Bedfordshire to provide animals with a more natural environment in which to live."
