The RMC (retired members committee) represents retired BMA members from all branches of practice. While members may be retired from clinical practice, they are not retired as doctors and remain committed and active BMA members.
Our priorities
RMC's key priorities and objectives are to:
- represent retired members in all BMA activity
- recruit and retain retired members
- develop GMC revalidation advice regarding retirement
- collaborate with other branches of practice for the advancement of all members
- develop ideas and support the work around mental health and improving doctors' morale
- contribute to the BMA's gender pay gap work.
Our people
Five voting members of RMC are elected by our annual conference, the retired member conference (RMConf). The three officers of RMConf are also voting members and the BMA’s four chief officers are all non-voting members.
Chair: Brian Guttridge
Deputy chair: Stephen Millar
Voting members: To qualify for appointment as a voting member of the RMC, candidates must be permanently retired from medical practice.

This event has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Regional meetings
Smaller regional meetings (with lunch) take place during the year. The programme consists of a small number of speakers and debates on relevant issues.
Retired members who would like to attend these meetings can contact their regional or national office to find out when a meeting is being arranged and to ensure they are on the list.
Any retired members who would like to put themselves forward as a volunteer to assist with the organisation of a meeting, should send their name, region and other relevant details to [email protected]. Please note, no expenses are paid for volunteering.
