Description of Benefits
Eligibility & Application
To be considered for Fellowship of the Faculty of Forensic & Legal Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians individuals should:
- have been a Member (or been eligible for Foundation Membership) for at least 5 years. In exceptional circumstances applications prior to 5 years may be considered
- be in good standing with the Faculty

- provide details of two Members or Fellows who have agreed to provide references supporting the application. Where this is not possible, we are happy to accept references from two non FFLM Members or Fellows.
- demonstrate how activity in their own professional field has furthered the objectives of the Faculty
Detailed guidance notes have been prepared to assist applicants, nominees and referees in completion of their applications and to assist them in presenting their application.
If you meet the requirements, you can complete the application form (below) and ask your referee’s to complete the referee forms (below) and return any supporting documents for consideration at the next Membership & Fellowship Committee (MFC). The submission closing dates are available for each meeting held during the year.
If the MFC approve your application, you then need to complete and sign a Form of Faith, make your subscription and application fee payment, and then your membership will be shared with the Board for ratification to complete the process.
If you are a qualified healthcare professional, the FFLM needs to verify that you are registered with a professional regulatory body and that you are in good standing. Please provide the web address of your regulatory body to enable the FFLM to verify your status on-line. If you know it is not possible to verify your status on-line with your particular regulatory body, then please provide the full name and postal address of the body. The Board may exercise its discretion on a case by case basis and allow you, if you do allied work, or if you are in training, to join as an Affiliate member even if you are not registered with a regulatory body.
Please note: If you are a healthcare professional and the FFLM cannot verify that you are in good standing with a professional regulatory body, then your application for membership will not be successful.
