This year has witnessed the continuation of efforts to design a capability framework that will support the professional development of remote, rural and humanitarian healthcare. Simultaneously, we have been developing a robust and transparent process for the award of Membership and Fellowship post nominals to allow for the formal recognition of the skills sets and experience found across remote, rural and humanitarian healthcare.

We hosted our first in-person networking event on Friday 18 November, in the historic Fellows Library at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd). Our Executive Committee were joined by members of the Faculty, plus representatives from our organisation members and partnership organisations for an evening drinks reception.

The Faculty of Remote, Rural and Humanitarian Healthcare, as part of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, is looking forward to attending and presenting at the Academy for Silent Mentor Tripartite Conference taking place in Kuching, Malaysia, from 14 to 16 December 2022.
