About us
Welcome from the South East Wales Faculty. We support members throughout their careers by providing educational events, professional development opportunities, local networking and representation. One of our main priorities is to ensure that the views and experiences of general practice across South East Wales are represented within RCGP Wales and the wider College. Here you can find out more about what we offer and how you can get involved.

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.
