About us
Welcome from East Anglia faculty. We support over 2,000 members, Fellows, Associates and GP registrars across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Norfolk and Suffolk. One of our main priorities is to engage with all members, especially new members. Here you can find out more about what we offer and how you can get involved.
Get involved
The East Anglia 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 held online. 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 via EAnglia@rcgp.org.uk if you would like to attend.
Board meeting dates for 2026:
- Wednesday 18 November 2026
Upcoming events

Celebrating and supporting you
Each year we recognise outstanding members working in our faculty. We have annual prizes to support our members, and also a range of Recognition Awards which we present at our annual celebration evening. Read more about our awards and prizes and please do contact us if you would like to find out more.

RCGP Fellowship
Our Faculty has always worked hard to encourage people to put themselves and others forward for FRCGP, and the RCGP has recently relaunched an updated process which is open to any member in good standing who has been MRCGP for five years, completed their first revalidation cycle, and can show their contribution to the profession. We welcome GPs with special interests, leadership roles, innovators and educators – but no additional career achievements are necessary. The core commitment to patients and delivery of high quality GP care over a sustained period is enough to deserve recognition! See the fellowship page or contact us for more information.
Meet your Faculty
Your faculty board has been elected by members to represent and support local interests. We are a friendly group made up of a range of careers stages and backgrounds. Through this mixed experience we bring everyone together so that a broad range of voices is represented. We also like to socialise and meet up – you are welcome to come to our next board meeting to meet us, or look out for the next social event. We would love to see you there.
