Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow
We welcome our newly admitted or elevated Fellows and Members of the College to register for our Afternoon of 12 November 2025 Diploma Ceremony in the College Hall.
Overview
The President, Hany Eteiba, will host this Afternoon ceremony to welcome new Fellows and Members to the College. The event will be a celebration of achievement and will offer new members a chance to meet and network with peers and College Faculty.
The event will take place from 13:30-16:30hrs GMT and is open to members of all five College disciplines. Members and guests will be able to enjoy a tour of the College and the ceremony will be followed by a reception in the splendour of College Hall. More information about the programme, including how to book your ceremonial gown and photographs, will be sent with your booking confirmation.
Attendance at the ceremony is free for new Fellows and Members; a fee of £20 will be charged per guest. Please note - due to seating restrictions in the College, a maximum of 2 guests per Fellow or Member is allowed. If you are bringing guests, please choose the option group in the booking form, or if you are coming to the ceremony without guests please choose the option individual.
We anticipate these ceremonies will be very popular and strongly advise you to register without delay, as places will go on a first-come-first-served basis. Please contact us at ceremony@rcpsg.ac.uk if you have any queries relating to this or future ceremonies.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to the College and celebrating with you, your family, and friends.
Pre-Diploma Ceremony Dinner
In addition to the Diploma ceremony, we are delighted to invite you to join us on the night before your diploma ceremony for an experience that blends history, elegance, and culinary delight in one of Glasgow's most prestigious venues. Reservations are required, as there is limited availability and early booking is essential. The Pre-Ceremony Dinner for the November ceremony can be booked here.
Children and babies
We recognise that Diploma Ceremony days are a time of celebration for the whole family. However, as the ceremonies themselves are formal evening events, we advise that they are not suitable for children under seven-years-old.
If it is not possible to make childcare arrangements, children are welcome to watch a livestream video of the ceremony in a relaxed space in the College. Please note: children must be accompanied by an adult guest at all times.
Babies under the age of two do not require a ticket.
