New Fellows by award round

Fellowship for distinction in the profession of pharmacy (FRPharmS, now FRCPharm), 2015 to November 2026

From Show periods with no published figure

Notes and caveats

Counts are new Fellows designated by the Panel of Fellows for distinction in the profession of pharmacy. Honorary Fellowships, Faculty Fellowships and posthumous Fellowships are not included.
No published count was found for May 2015, May 2016, November 2016, November 2017, May 2018 and one of the two 2019 rounds. Calendar-year totals for 2015 to 2019 are therefore partial and shown as "at least".
November 2015: two secondary sources differ by one (47 or 48). It is plotted as 48.
2019: one round of 22 Fellows was published; whether it was the May or November round is unconfirmed.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society became the Royal College of Pharmacy on 15 April 2026. The May 2026 round straddles that change: the 34 Fellows were announced by the College on 10 August 2026 as its first FRCPharm cohort.
The November 2026 round had not been announced at the time of writing, and Fellowship submissions are paused while the College reviews the process.
Where no official total was published, counts come from published lists of names. Society-wide Fellow totals are not used because they are net of deaths and resignations.
