STAND OVERVIEW
We are excited to meet members attending Annual Conference in Glasgow this year and hope to engage with as many community groups, those who have attended conference before and those who haven’t.
The RCGP stand will:
- host a range of community corner socials,
- provide a space for you to learn more about the practice support and services we offer, including RCGP Net Zero programme,
- offer a financial wellbeing zone, in association with our financial advice provider, Wesleyan Financial Services, where you can drop by to discuss your financial plans and concerns.
MEET THE TEAM
Join us at the RCGP stand to meet your peers, network, gather information and share feedback. We’ll have colleagues from member services, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland teams, several English faculties will be represented, and our campaigns and research team will be on-hand to share more about the College’s priorities. This is also an opportunity for you to access advice, guidance and support, should you need it, and for any AiTs with queries about the exam to come and ask our dedicated exams officer.
REST & RECHARGE
We will have a charging station at the stand where you can plug in your phone (and tweet from the conference!), a coffee point plus a seating area where you can put your feet up between all the sessions.
CLAIM YOUR RCGP MEMBER GIFT
Give us your feedback! On the Annual Conference app you will find a link to a very short survey. Once you’ve completed this, pop over to the RCGP stand to pick up your sustainable-friendly member gift.
