Welcome to the West Scotland Faculty Home Page
Welcome to the West of Scotland Faculty. We are the
largest faculty in Scotland supporting over 2000
members, Fellows and Associates of the College in the Greater
Glasgow & Clyde, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire & Arran, Forth
Valley and Dumfries & Galloway Health Board areas.
Faculty members’ interests are represented by an elected faculty
board which meets four times per year and in line with other
faculties in Scotland, matters discussed include local,
Scottish and UK items of business. The board comprises of 33
members, including the professors of General Practice and NHS
Education for Scotland together with a GP Registrar representative,
two lay representatives and four AiT representatives. To keep
the membership up to date a faculty newsletter is published
quarterly and distributed to every member.
The annual general meeting of the faculty is held in October and
is linked with the prestigious Fulton Lecture which immediately
follows the AGM. Additionally, the faculty organises
educational events for members and provides support and guidance
for GPs wishing to become members of the College through the
Interim Membership by Assessment of Performance route (iMAP).
