About Us
The Royal College of General
Practitioners (RCGP) is the academic organisation in the UK for
general practitioners. Its aim is to encourage and maintain the
highest standards of general medical practice and act as the
‘voice’ of general practitioners on education, training and issues
around standards of care for patients.
The College in Northern Ireland
came into existence in 1953 (one year after the UK College), when a
Northern Ireland Faculty was created to take forward the College’s
interests within Northern Ireland. After a number of years of
increased activity the Faculty progressed to become the NI
Council.
The Council rents premises in
Cromac Place in Belfast, close to the BMA
and NIGPC.
