All members currently working in general practice should have been emailed a unique link to our 2024 GP Voice Survey.

Each year, RCGP asks its members about their priorities and experiences. The findings allow your College to pitch a powerful message to decision-makers. Earlier this week, Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Health, Sam Rowlands MS was referencing data from our 2023 survey in a Senedd debate about GP Practices and Funding.

Please fill in this year's survey to help us make an even stronger case for general practice over the next twelve months. If you have not received an email link to the survey please contact [email protected].

Our Story

The primary purpose of the college in Wales is to facilitate the provision of high quality medical care by promoting and supporting general practice and general practitioners.

In 1997 Welsh Health care became the responsibility of the Welsh Government and so RCGP Wales focuses particularly on that which is relevant to Wales.

What we do

Working with Welsh Assembly Members, Local Health Boards and the Welsh Government, our activities include:
delivering training courses and other educational activities
raising the quality of patient care through quality initiatives and awards, for example, the RCGP Certificates in substance misuse
responding to government consultations and representing GPs and our members in particular, on Welsh Government working groups, including the GP National Specialist Advisory Group (NSAG)
encouraging research in general practice to improve the evidence base for standards and guidance on best practice
Supporting the setting of standards and clinical guidelines for clinical care
supporting members by providing opportunities for doctors to network and share ideas - including the RCGP Wales Annual Conference and with the Wales Mental Health in Primary Care Network (WaMH in PC) which is currently supporting Welsh Government with the implementation of the Mental Health (Wales) Measure
