Commission on Generalism Consultation
The Commission on Generalism
is now seeking views on medical generalism and the role
of the generalist in today’s healthcare system.
The RCGP is undertaking
an extensive consultation to inform our official response to
the recommendations and our report, which will be released in 2012.
We are keen to hear from as many RCGP members, medical
professionals and other stakeholders as possible. There are a
number of ways in which you can take part in this process:
On-line survey
Our online survey only takes
15 minutes and can be found here.
Listening
events
The RCGP is running six evening
listening exercises across the UK during October and November.
These are being held in the following locations:
- London, 24
October (18:00 – 20:00, RCGP - 1 Bow
Churchyard)
- Cardiff, 27
October (18:00 – 20:00, Village Hotel and Leisure Club,
Cardiff)
- Manchester, 3
November (18:00 – 20:00, The Portland Hotel)
- Glasgow, 9

- Belfast, 16
November (18:30 – 20:30, Holiday Inn, 22 Ormeau
Avenue)
These events are an opportunity to
discuss with the College the recommendations and implications of
the independent report, and the main issues for generalism today
and in the future. The events will help inform our early thinking
on the report’s recommendations and feed into the wider
consultation.
Places are limited and will be
allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Refreshments and food
will be provided and the RCGP will reimburse travel expenses.
To register a place and for further
