Communities and groups
The College facilitates a number of communities and groups which bring together members, GPs and subject experts.
Special interest groups (SIGs)
RCGP special interest groups (SIGs) are communities of health professionals with shared interest in advancing specific areas of medicine in general practice, learning or technology. Members meet, collaborate, and plan new projects, finding solutions within their chosen field.
If you wish to set up a new SIG, please fill in our SIG set-up request form.
Networks
Clinical advisers network
The clinical advisers network allows GPs to get involved: by using their knowledge, experience and expertise to influence clinical policy and practice. This is specifically done by contributing to the development of clinical policy, guidelines and quality standards. The opportunities, which are diverse and flexible, can range from contributing to individual consultations, to year-long commitments developing new guidelines.
Person-centred care network
We have appointed a Clinical Champion, a Clinical Support Fellow and seven Regional Clinical Leads to find out how person-centred care is making a difference across England. They are supported by an online Network of Champions open to clinicians passionate about delivering person-centred care in their practice and their region.
Person-Centred Care Network of Champions
This online network brings together GPs, primary care colleagues and people with lived experience across the four nations who share an enthusiasm for person-centred approaches to health and well-being. The network aims to:
- promote person-centred care approaches in members' own localities
- feed into national pieces of work (for example, through consultations) and be the RCGP's voice for person-centred care
- meet twice per year to plan strategy, and explore good work being carried out across the country to highlight through the project.
