About us

Our area covers the boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster. We currently support around 2600 RCGP members and their peers. As a Faculty, we are committed to improving patient care, clinical standards and GP professional development.

Board meetings
Our Faculty is the voice of local members. We meet four times per year, in February, June, September and November to discuss issues pertinent to our members, which are then fed back to the College Council and we work to develop an ongoing programme of engagement and educational activities. You are very welcome to join the Faculty Board; we are always on the lookout for enthusiastic and knowledgeable GPs to take part and be involved in the discussion.

Earlier identification and improving palliative and end-of-life care: Using small changes to make a big difference in your practice
Join us for this free, practical and inspiring webinar to discover how small quality-improvement projects and everyday changes can make a meaningful difference for people living with advanced serious illness, those approaching the end of life, and their families and carers. Good palliative and end-of-life care is not delivered by one clinician or through one conversation alone. It is created by the whole general practice team through the people we notice, the questions we ask, the information we record and share, and the simple systems we put in place.
