Board meetings
Our Faculty is the voice of local members. We meet four times per year, in February, June, September and November to discuss issues pertinent to our members, which are then fed back to the College Council and we work to develop an ongoing programme of engagement and educational activities. You are very welcome to join the Faculty Board; we are always on the lookout for enthusiastic and knowledgeable GPs to take part and be involved in the discussion.

Intercultural Communication Skills for GPS
A multicultural workplace is enriching but it can also bring its own communication challenges. This highly practical and thought-provoking workshop provides the opportunity to explore these challenges and to develop strategies that facilitate clearer communication. The workshop is aimed at GPs who work in culturally and linguistically diverse settings and are keen to improve communication with patients and/or colleagues. The workshop will offer support for both GPs who are English speaking and GPs who speak English as an additional language. Whether you're navigating idioms, accents or cultural cues, this workshop is designed with you in mind. If English isn't your first language, you'll find practical tools to help overcome common barriers and grow in confidence when communicating with patients and peers.
