Welcome from Tamar Faculty, we support over 1250 members, Fellows, Associates and AiT’s across Devon and Cornwall. The Faculty is a group of volunteer RCGP members who provide local networking, education and support for members in the area. To take account of the wide geographical spread of members, we have four regional education leads covering Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay and Truro who organise free monthly CPD meetings in these localities.

A message from Dr Sarah Michaels - Tamar Faculty First5 Lead
January 2022
My name is Sarah, and I am new to the Tamar Faculty. I have moved from London where I benefitted from a great First5 group. I am an oldie to medicine; I studied drama at Exeter University and then I did my GP training at King's College London. I am now based at Launceston Medical Centre.

Fellowship
February 2022
Fellowship is an honour and a mark of achievement recognising a significant contribution to health and welfare of the community, science or practice of medicine, and/or aims of RCGP, or any organisation which benefits general practice. Full details of applying for fellowship can be found at
RCGP Fellowship. If you are unsure about any part of fellowship or want to know more about the process please

The faculty actively encourages its members of 5 years plus standing to consider putting themselves forward for Fellowship. We have a Faculty Fellowship Committee (FFC) within the faculty, coordinated by our Provost, Dr Jill Wilson who is also the Fellowship lead. The FFC can offer advice and support through the Severn Faculty office.
