Welcome from the Vale of Trent Faculty, a group of volunteers including RCGP members, lay member, foundation doctors and medical students. Our geographical area stretches from Ashbourne to Skegness and includes Boston, Derby, Lincoln, Mansfield and Nottingham. The board aims to support our members’ professional development by arranging educational, networking and special events for GPs and GP registrars and also careers events for medical students and foundation doctors. We are proud to work with the local General Practice Society to help medical students discover more about one of the broadest and most rewarding specialties in medicine.

East Midlands First 5 GP Conference: Network, Thrive and Be Inspired
As we move through 2022 and shake off the dust of some of the most challenging years Primary Care has ever experienced, we are setting out to welcome and celebrate our amazing early career GPs in the East Midlands in our First 5 Conference.
This day-long, free conference is themed around creating and strengthening links between us all. It aims to give us the tools and the confidence to thrive in this brave new world of primary care and to inspire us to new heights of personal and professional development as well as healthy professional growth.
