It is time to start the process to elect FPM’s new President who will replace Dr Flic Gabbay whose term ends in November 2024.

Only Fellows of FPM (not Honorary Fellows) are eligible for nomination for election to this office.

The President serves a single three-year term of office and is not eligible for re-election at the end of this period.
