Subscription Arrears
Membership subscriptions become due on 1 January each year and it is important that your fees are paid as promptly as possible. We recognise and accept that payments may take some time to arrange, particularly for those members based overseas. Nevertheless, members who are in arrears for a 4 month period or more will have their benefits removed. This includes participation in the College’s CPD Programme, receipt of The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist and BJOG (for those resident in the British Isles*) access to the privileged area of the website, receipt of regular College mailings, elections for Council members, Regional College Advisers, Trainees’ and International Representative Committees. Members who are in arrears for a period of 9 months or more will be removed from the Register and will no longer be considered to be a Fellow or Member of the College. You will be required to pay all outstanding fees prior to your name being submitted to Council for consideration for reinstatement.
The College is willing to discuss individual circumstances where warranted. Please e-mail agale@rcog.org.uk in the first instance, if you feel you have mitigating circumstances that may have made paying difficult.
