Welcome to the RCGP Wales Homepage
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.

Wales, the Disability Rights Commission, the NHS
Centre for Equality and Human Rights, the Welsh Assembly Government

in Wales as well as those representing disabled people and the
Primary Care workforce.
