Financial Support
Resources
The Royal Benevolent Fund
Leading UK charity for doctors, medical students and their families. RMBF provides financial support, money advice and information when it is most needed due to distress caused by age, ill health, or bereavement. RMBF has a telephone befriending service for anyone who needs to talk.
The Cameron Fund
The Cameron Fund is the only medical benevolent fund that solely supports general practitioners and their dependents. It provides support to GPs and their families in times of financial need, whether through ill-health, disability, death or loss of employment. Both people suffering longer term from financial hardship and those who are newly facing it are supported by this charity.
BDA Benevolent Fund
The Benevolent Fund cares for dentists and their dependants, when they find themselves in need.
BMA Charities
The BMA Charities can help all doctors (not just members) in times of need. The Fund can provide one-off grants to doctors and their dependents for specific items in times of crisis. Most of its work is with doctors who are not working for whatever reason and are in financial difficulty because of this.
Pharmacist Support
Pharmacist Support offers debt and benefits advice through a partnership with the CAB and can also provide financial assistance in the form of grants and interest free loans.
