I was elected Hon Secretary for the British Society for Rheumatology after working as a Council member and a member of the Clinical Affairs committee and External Relations Committee from 2000-2008. I have been a Visiting and Host Examiner for the MRCP Royal College of Physicians of London for the last 10 years and also a member of the Question Setting group for the Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE).
