Fellowship

Election to Honorary Fellowship (conferring the postnominals Hon FFOM) is the Faculty’s way of recognising those outwith the Faculty, and indeed often outwith medicine, who have made an outstanding contribution to the science or practice of occupational medicine.  Fellows are given the opportunity of nominating individuals for Honorary Fellowship once in each calendar year.  The criteria and nomination process are determined by the Faculty Board.
