Members

 
To become a Member of the College, general practitioners either have to pass the (n)MRCGP assessment, or alternatively they may undertake Membership by Assessment of Performance (MAP).

In addition those wishing to become Members must also be eligible to be a principal in the National Health Service (or overseas equivalent). Those practising in the United Kingdom will be required to provide evidence that they have passed all elements of summative assessment or the nMRCGP as prescribed by the Postgraduate Medical and Education Training Board (PMETB) and be eligible for a Certificate of Prescribed or Equivalent Experience. For further information about the CCT for General Practice, please contact the College’s Certification Unit.

Membership is about both the attainment of the (n)MRCGP assessment and the payment of the appropriate annual subscription fee. To recognise this, only Members of the College may use the designation MRCGP. Whether Members have sat and passed the MRCGP or nMRCGP, the postnominal 'MRCGP' applies.

The term ‘Members in Good Standing’ is also used to denote members who continue to fulfil the requirements for membership of the College.

If you would like to know more about becoming a Member, please contact the Membership Support Department on 020 7589 8710 or e-mail membership@rcgp.org.uk Details of current subscription rates are available via this link.
