Awards & Prizes

Quality of patient care is a priority for GPs in Scotland and it is important to recognise the success stories of General Practice at its best. Creating the opportunity for patients to nominate their GP for an award gives us an important insight to the dedication of grassroots GPs who play an important role not only in treatment, but as a valuable member of the community.

Dr Ken Lawton - Chair of RCGP Scotland

 

The College is continually looking for innovative ideas and developments which take forward the discipline of general practice and the quality of patient care. One of the ways in which this is done is through a number of annual and bi-annual awards and prizes. RCGP Scotland administers a number of awards and prizes exclusively for GPs in Scotland.
