Discover Fellowship - Welsh Faculties

This relaxed and interactive session will explain everything, showing that fellowship isn’t just for a select few—it’s within reach of anyone who has been an RCGP member post-CCT for five years. Many assume it’s about age or career stage, but it’s about your work, dedication, and contribution to general practice. We will answer your questions about the RCGP fellowship and guide you through the application process. You will also hear from members who have achieved fellowship and their experiences.
