About us

Welcome from the South London Faculty. We support over 1,950 Members, Fellows, Associates and GP Registrars throughout the South London area. 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 South London 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 either held online or face to face at the London Offices in Euston.

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.

Upcoming events

Our board is instrumental in producing a lively programme of events for local members, from localised CPD opportunities, to family fun days and celebration evenings, everything is tailored to our South London members.   Follow us on our LinkedIn page for up to date events and activities in your region, or search our list of events below.

Celebrating and supporting you

Each year we recognise outstanding members working in our faculty.
