RCGP Rural Forum

 

Welcome to the RCGP Rural Forum, a group that aims to improve representation of rural GPs within the College.


The forum will support GP revalidation and investigate education that seeks to ensure recruitment and retention in rural practices.  It will also be the focus for improving communication with rural members, offer input for CPD programmes and research, and will provide the rural perspective in shaping College policy. Contact the forum at ruralforum@rcgp.org.uk.
