the owl is a symbol of wisdom the shield, separated by a chevron, symbolises the roof of the house in which most general practice takes place. One side is white to represent day and the other black to represent night. The three spaces are occupied by a white poppy, signifying relief of pain and suffering; a gentian flower indicating medicine and the restorative and rehabilitative role of the GP; and, finally, the Greek lamp indicates the importance of study and research in the work of the College and links with the lamp of nursing.
the unicorn is adopted from the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. the lynx is adopted from the arms of the Royal College of Surgeons. the gavel symbolises authority. the serpent is the ancient symbol of medicine.
The College arms were granted in 1961 by the College of Arms in England (a separate but almost identical coat of arms was approved by the Lord Lyon in Scotland).
Cum Scientia Caritas compassion with knowledge.
The current President’s gown was instigated in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of the College.
It has incorporated the College arms and reflects the College blue of our modern logo.
The President’s chain was gifted to the College in 1958. It is cast in 9 carat yellow and white gold and consists of a medallion of a white gold poppy entwined with a yellow gold foxglove and alternating with entwined serpents in white gold. The medallion of the College coat of arms was added in 1963.
The Members’ gown is black with white facing.
The Chair of Council wears a badge that incorporates the College arms with the names of all previous College Chairs on the ribbon in gold.
The elements of the College coat of arms are explained below:An organisation or other body can only be recognised as an independent legal entity if it has been granted either a Royal Charter or a Memorandum and Articles of Association by the Board of Trade.
It would be fair to say that there was more than a little resistance to the formation of an independent college of general practitioners in the early 1950s not least by the three London based medical royal colleges then in existence. In view of this, the College’s founders were advised to seek a Memorandum and Articles rather than a Royal Charter as this was a process that was less likely to be challenged by others. Such Articles of Association were granted in 1952.
The plan had always been to apply for a Royal Charter and this was duly granted in 1967. It was formally presented to the College in 1972 when HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh became the College’s first royal president.
In common with other Royal Charters, the charter is a vellum document with a large wax seal attached to it It is a valuable document and is currently kept in the climate controlled college archives. It is only displayed on very special occasions.
The RCGP exists to help its members deliver great care for patients. Being a GP is a rewarding and stimulating but demanding profession, and the times when we can celebrate our successes together are very special. This is particularly true as we restart our live presentation ceremonies following a long gap caused by the COVID 19 global pandemic. Today we formally and joyfully! welcome new Members and Fellows to the RCGP; this event marks your efforts and achievements and hopefully will create some very special moments and memories. We want to say “Thank you!” to all of you for choosing general practice, and also want to thank all those who have supported you in your journey
We hope that today will leave you feeling proud, and will encourage you to find out more about the opportunities that the RCGP can offer. Having professional networks is a key means for career development and personal wellbeing. Whether CPD, peer support, guidance from others at different career stages, special interest groups, and new professional opportunities, we want to answer your questions and help you use your membership to the full and build on
this momentum across the next stages of your careers. The RCGP also advocates on behalf of our speciality, and are always keen to hear your views and ideas. Other parts of this booklet point out the role of your local Faculty, who have representatives who speak for members on Council, and guide the College on members’ needs.
As President, I am elected to represent the members. I am delighted that I will meet many of you today in person and to be part of your celebration. You deserve your award! And I am sure it will help you to aspire to even higher professional commitment to excellent patient care. As the College motto says “Cum Scientia Caritas” scientific skill applied with compassionate kindness. Being a GP is a vocation where interacting with the patient as a human being can matter as much to effective diagnosis and treatment as the technical knowledge. You deserve others to be kind to you, as you undertake this vital work.
So please use the RCGP as your lifelong friend and resource and if you need further advice and are not sure where to go, you can contact president@rcgp.org.uk.
Welcome to the Royal College of General Practitioners New Members’ Ceremony. We are delighted to welcome you and your guests to this very special occasion here in Birmingham.
Welcome and congratulations to you and your guests to this New Member Ceremony here at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham.

Today provides you and your loved ones with the deserved opportunity to celebrate, reflect and absorb the scale of what you have achieved over the challenges of your training, but also through the hardest years the NHS has ever had to face.
Think about the obstacles you have all overcome to achieve this:
Adapting to remote consulting while delivering face to face care through a pandemic Adjusting to the isolation of virtual teaching during VTS given the risk to business continuity had we met face to face Handling the uncertainty of a new examination enforced by social distancing, Looking after those friends and family members who became unwell, Facing your own health challenges and daily COVID risks through patient care Playing your part in delivering the largest vaccination programme in the history of the NHS.
All that while taking on the challenge of the widest curriculum in medical careers within the shortest training time
