Faculty Board
The South East Wales Faculty Board is made up of local GP volunteers, lay representatives, and members from groups including First5 and GP registrars. The Board supports local networking, education, and member engagement, while ensuring local issues and perspectives are represented at RCGP Wales and RCGP Council.
We meet four times a year and welcome local members to attend meetings and contribute to discussions. We're always keen to hear from enthusiastic volunteers who would like to help shape the future of general practice in South East Wales.
Upcoming Board Meetings 2026:
- Tuesday 8 September 2026, 19:00, via Zoom. Reserve your spot for the board meeting
- Tuesday 17 November 2026, 19:00 at the Village Hotel, Cardiff
RCGP Fellowship
If you've been a member of the College for five years or more, we encourage you to consider applying for Fellowship – the College's highest membership grade.
Fellowship is a mark of distinction, awarded in recognition of significant contributions to medicine, particularly within general practice. It recognises your commitment to the profession and the impact you have made throughout your career.
There is no fee to apply, and applications are submitted through a straightforward online process. Full details on eligibility and the application process can be found on the RCGP Fellowship webpage.
As a valued member of the College, this may be an opportunity worth considering. If there is anything about the process that you are unsure about, or if you would like further information, please contact the faculty office.
We encourage you to explore this opportunity and celebrate your professional achievements by applying for Fellowship.
