'De-mystifying the Fellowship Pathway' programme for 2025
To support your journey towards Fellowship, we are committed to making the nomination process as clear and accessible as possible.
For 2025, we will be holding six sessions throughout the year to help clarify the process and support you as you embark on your Fellowship journey. While these sessions are not mandatory for those wishing to become a Fellow, they are designed to provide clarity about the application process and equip you with all the information needed to submit a strong application.
We will offer two types of sessions leading up to the nomination deadlines:
- Fellowship Pathway Overview: This session provides an introduction to Fellowship, including its values, benefits, and a detailed breakdown of the nomination process. These small group based sessions are led by Ellie Sweetnam, Fellowship and Membership Engagement Manager
- Meet a Fellow Q&A: In this session, you can sign up for a 15-minute one-on-one slot with a Fellow. They will share insights into Fellowship and the nomination process, offer advice on your CV, boost your confidence, and answer any questions you may have.
Please note that 'Meet a Fellow Q&A' sessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis and preference will be shown to members who are a Pathway member.
