About us
As a Faculty, we offer a wide range of resources and initiatives, including wellbeing programs and Learn and Connect sessions, designed to foster professional growth, collaboration, and personal development. Beyond these offerings, we remain committed to being the primary point of contact for our local GPs, providing guidance, support, and opportunities for engagement.
Our board members also play an integral role in shaping the future of general practice by participating in key discussions, with their insights and feedback shared directly with the College Council. Together, we are strengthening the GP profession and building a more connected, supportive community.

RCGP Fellowship
The Faculty actively encourages its members of five years plus standing to consider putting themselves forward for Fellowship. We have a Faculty Fellowship Committee (FFC) within the Faculty, led by our Provost, Dr Dominic Patterson. The FFC can offer advice and support through the faculty office. For more information view the Fellowship page.
Membership for All
Membership for all means any GPs who have been on the GMC GP register for a minimum of five years and have completed at least one revalidation cycle (or completed CEGPR) will now be eligible to apply for membership via a new, inclusive route.
