The RCGP delivers a wide portfolio of projects that raise the profile of important and underrepresented clinical areas in primary care. We work with GPs and practice staff, supporting them to deliver a better quality and level of care to their patients. Working across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, we work in partnership with a variety of funders, including charities and government bodies, to develop practical support and resources. We champion innovation and quality to ensure that primary care is clinically effective and sustainable for the future.
