RCGP Fringe agenda

This year our member communities and groups will be hosting a series of fringe sessions alongside the formal conference programme. These sessions are designed to celebrate diversity, innovation, and inclusion with College communities and Special Interest Groups. There will be hands-on workshops, themed talks and community engagement sessions. Topics are wide-ranging covering Deep End Cymru and the fairer practice toolkit to women’s health, young people and confidentiality, gambling harms and EOLC as well as a dynamic session with Later career and retired GPs community.

Join us for the RCGP Fringe programme: no need to book on, just check the agenda and drop in during break times. The sessions will take place on the 2nd floor mezzanine.
