Senior Fellows Club Lecture Programme
The Senior Fellows’ annual programme runs from October to May. Talks are generally not on current medical topics. Recent talks have included 'The Eagle and the Bear: A New History of Roman Scotland', 'The Early Development of Aviation' and 'Covert Assassination'. All SFC lectures are live-streamed for SFC members who wish to watch online. We also have a selection of recordings available to watch online from past talks.
Talks are held on Mondays and start at 12:00 and are followed by drinks and lunch. Those staying for lunch pay for it in advance. The session closes at about 14:15
Each year we hold a joint meeting with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh’s Senior Fellows Club, alternating between the College sites.
For further information about the SFC lectures and lunches, please contact sfc@rcpe.ac.uk
