GP registrar community group

RCGP supports and encourages its GP registrar members to shape their membership experience through the running of its GP registrar community group, which exists to ensure that trainees have the opportunity to: 

• Shape their experience as a GP registrar member of the RCGP
• Discuss matters relevant to GP training
• Make suggestions and propose changes to improve the College's offer for trainees

Welcome message from GP registrar reps

GP Registrar Co-Chairs 2024-25 

Dr Deepthi Lavu

Deepthi Lavu is an academic ST4 GP trainee based in Exeter. She is from the Tamar Faculty, and represents the RCGP GP registrars as the RCGP Co-Chair. Her research activities are based in the University of Exeter.

Dr Akram Hussain 

Dr Akram Hussain is currently a GP trainee in the Ayrshire/Arran deanery, West Scotland. He moved to the UK in January 2021 as an IMG from India. His time with the RCGP began in November 2022 during ST1 as a representative for West Scotland. He later became the Deputy Chair of RCGP Scotland First5/GP Registrar Committee, Education Lead for the West Scotland faculty, and is now RCGP AiT Chair. 

I have particular interests in emergency medicine and leadership, alongside organisation and management skills. My journey with RCGP has been an incredible experience so far, with its own challenges to face. Being involved with the Royal College has certainly helped me develop my skills and I look forward to engaging with more trainees and healthcare leaders across general practice over the next year, so that we can work together to improve the GP training experience.
