Faculty Board meetings
Our Faculty Board meets four times per year in March, June, September and November and is made up of GP volunteers including representatives from Hull GP Society, Hull and York Medical School (HYMS), First5 and GP registrar committees, as well as representation for Fellows and a regional Education Lead.
As a Faculty, we offer a wide range of resources and initiatives, including wellbeing programs and Learn & Connect sessions, designed to foster professional growth, collaboration, and personal development. Beyond these offerings, we remain committed to being the primary point of contact for our local GPs, providing guidance, support, and opportunities for engagement.
Our members also play an integral role in shaping the future of general practice by participating in key discussions, with their insights and feedback shared directly with the College Council. Together, we are strengthening the GP profession and building a more connected, supportive community.
We're always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to get involved and help shape our Faculty Board. Please email humber@rcgp.org.uk if you're interested in attending or finding out more about how you can get involved.
