What we do

The RMBF is committed to leading the way in providing support and advice to members of the medical profession and their dependants at times of crisis and serious need.

Helping those in greatest financial need

If you are in particular financial need we may be able to help you by providing financial support and/or Money/Debt Management Advice. If appropriate we may also be able to arrange Careers Counselling.

In 2010-2011 we helped 355 beneficiaries aged 3 months to 101 years

To be considered for help you will need to be, or have been, a GMC registered doctor or a recognised dependant, resident in the UK, unable to work, with little in the way of income or savings.
