Board meetings
We rely on members to play an active role locally, promoting the College aims and objectives. It is essential to raise and maintain awareness of demographic issues and needs of GPs and patients alike and develop initiatives to support these. All local members are very welcome to attend Board meetings and participate in these discussions. We meet four times a year, in February, June, September and November.
The next board meetings will take place on:
- Tuesday 9 June 2026
- Tuesday 8 September 2026
- Tuesday 17 November 2026
