Committees

 

As an organisation MWF has formal and invited representation on a number of different national influential committees and charitable organisations. Details of these formal roles are given below, together with the key contact point. These individuals represent MWF at national level, so do not hesitate to contact them if there are specific points you would like to raise

In addition, MWF members are active in their own right in many other national and regional bodies and organisations- for example, a substantial proportion of women doctors on the General Medical Council are members of MWF, as are many senior members of Royal Colleges and Faculties, and Postgraduate Deans. Details can be seen in the annual membership directory. Any member of MWF will be pleased to talk to any MWF colleagues about aspects of their work.
