About us
A warm welcome from the North and West London faculty. We support over 2,000 Members, Fellows, Associates and GP Registrars throughout the North and West London area. One of our main priorities is to engage with all members, especially new members. Find out more about what we offer and how you can get involved.
Our vision
To be the professional home for all GPs in North and West London – connecting, developing, representing and celebrating our diverse membership through educational events, networking, wellbeing and advocacy. We foster belonging, influence local decision making, and collaborate across London to support and empower GPs at every stage of their careers.
Get involved
The North and West London Faculty Board are a dedicated group of volunteers who have been elected by members to represent and support local interests. Find out which Board roles are currently available in your Faculty.
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 face to face at 30 Euston Sq. 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 nwlondon@rcgp.org.uk if you would like to attend.
Upcoming events
Our board is instrumental in producing a lively programme of events for local members, from localised CPD opportunities, to family fun days and celebration evenings, everything is tailored to our members.
