Welcome to the West Scotland Faculty Home PageWest Scotland Faculty

 
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).
