Later Career & Retired Member (LCARM) Community Group

RCGP supports and encourages its later career and retired members to shape their membership experience through the running of its LCARM Community Group, which exists to ensure that later career and retired members have the opportunity to:

  • Shape their experience as a member of the RCGP
  • Discuss matters relevant to their stage of the career and beyond
  • Make suggestions and propose changes to improve the College's offer

We are here to represent the interests of later career and retired members and - through the LCARM Chair - act as the conduit for local matters to be raised at our national meetings. Check out our guide for transforming your later career.

LCARM Chair

Dr Jude Danby FRCGP (she/her)

Jude was a GP in Bradford and Calderdale for 30 years, retiring from clinical practice after the pandemic. 

I've acquired many hats throughout my career, including GP Trainer, Appraiser, LMC and CCG roles. I found it hard to remove these while continuing to identify as a GP during my retirement journey. I value having the RCGP as a professional home. As LCARM Chair, I work to develop resources to support a gentle and kind retirement journey for all.

Meetings

The LCARM Community Group meets formally four times a year and the next meeting date is TBC.
