98% supported a joint call for
withdrawal with other medical royal colleges. As GPs of the future
the Bill (and its potential impact on patients and the NHS as a
whole) could have a major impact on AiTs and I continue to support
the excellent work of our Chair of College, Clare Gerada, in
raising the RCGP’s concerns.
Extended of
Training
It has, for some years, been an
aspiration of the RCGP to see an extension of GP training beyond
the current 3 year programme. The RCGP is very keen to gather the
thoughts of trainees around this subject in relation to their
experience of training. I would be very grateful
if you could take the time to complete this short 5 minute
survey .
