The RCR honours are a wonderful way to recognise your fellow doctors who have made a significant contribution to our specialties. I was delighted to be recognised for the Exceptional Contribution Award in 2022 for my contributions to teaching radiology. I understand that I’m the first international medical graduate to receive this award.

Please remember that you can nominate Fellows or members. The RCR would also like to see nominations for individuals from diverse backgrounds. We strongly believe that we should recognise and celebrate hard work, passion, skills and contributions by people of all colour, sex, ethnic origin and other characteristics.
