Welcome to the RCGP Wales website

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 Wales came into existence in 1953 (one year after the UK College), when a Welsh Council was created to take forward the College’s interests within the principality. After a number of years of increased activity (and political devolution in Wales), the College now rents premises in Regus House, Cardiff Bay, to house its expanding Welsh operation. In addition to a base in the centre of Cardiff, the College in Wales is represented through three regional faculty offices in South West Wales, South East Wales and North Wales.
