Application process
Please contact the team at icsm.honcon@imperial.ac.uk in the first instance to express interest in an honorary association.
Following verification from 海角社区’s partner trust or site, clinical educators will then need to provide personal details and a CV in order to apply for an association.
The process will include a Right to Work (RTW) check as Imperiahas a legal obligation to ensure that all prospective workers (including those undertaking honorary associations in an unpaid capacity) have the right to work (RTW) in the UK before the honorary association commences.
Please note: Clinicians seeking an honorary title with Imperiadue to postgraduate education or research, enterprise or industry collaboration with an academic department within the Faculty of Medicine will need to use a separate application process here: Honorary and visiting associations.
