About us

A warm welcome from the Essex faculty. We support over 1,000 Members, Fellows, Associates and GP Registrars throughout the Essex area. One of our main priorities is to engage with all members, especially new members. Here you can find out more about what we offer and how you can get involved.

Get involved

Our diverse group holds four board meetings a year to discuss a range of topics surrounding general practice and what further support could be offered to GPs at all stages of their career. These are either held online or in person.

One of the aims of our meetings is to gain grassroots views on issues of motions to present to the national RCGP Council.

You are welcome to attend these board meetings as an observer or join the board yourself through our annual elections process. Just get in touch if you would like to attend or visit our Faculties page to find out more information about Faculty Boards.

Board meetings

Our Board meetings are held four times a year, in February, June, September and November to progress our local engagement activities and discuss issues pertinent to our members, which are then fed back to the College Council. We rely on our members to play an active role locally, promoting the College's aims and objectives.

We award fellowship in recognition of a significant contribution to medicine, and general practice in particular. The Faculty actively encourages its members of 5 years plus standing to consider putting themselves forward for Fellowship. For more information view the Fellowship page.

Meet your Faculty

Your faculty board has been voted by members to represent and support local interests. We are a friendly group made up of a range of careers stages and backgrounds. Through this mixed experience we bring everyone together so that a broad range of voices is represented. We also like to socialise and meet up – you are welcome to come to our next board meeting to meet us, or look out for the next social event. We would love to see you there.
