Welcome from Tamar Faculty
A warm 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.
In addition, we provide a range of CPD and professional development courses, as well as a bursaries and awards to recognise innovation and development. This includes our annual study day, offering a mentoring service to First5s and supporting colleagues in training through our AKT and CSA course.

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 15 June 2021, contact the Faculty Administrator if you would like to join this online meeting.

NQGPs please do not hesitate to contact us for more information on how to be matched with a GP mentor. Email severn@rcgp.org.uk
We will send you a brief mentoring request form for completion and we will then do our best to match you quickly with a trained GP Mentor through our Tamar Faculty NQGP Mentorship Scheme.
This is an initiative originally developed by local GPs, and is currently funded by RCGP and HEE. It aims to provide confidential mentoring support for newly qualified GPs in Tamar.
