Interested in finding out more?
We are an inclusive group who welcome new members who share our passion or who are interested in finding out more. The GP SIG welcomes GP practice-wide membership from primary healthcare professionals. So, if you are a GP (retired GP), representing a GP Practice team, Medical Student, or Clinical Practitioner and would be interested in getting involved in this group, please contact NCCH's General Manger on info@ncch.org.uk.
The GP SIG meets on a quarterly basis, but also communicates through a range of platforms including What’s App and bi-monthly newsletters. Also, the GP SIG holds an annual study day.
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has supported the creation of this group and the National Centre for Creative Health provides the Secretariat for this GP Special Interest Group.
