GPs on parental leave
Here’s everything you need to know
The RCGP Annual Conference and Exhibition is the must-attend event of the year for the GP community. If you have child caring responsibilities this needn’t mean you should miss out.
We are committed to supporting GP parents so you can learn, develop and connect across the two days. Following the success of previous years', we will be hosting a dedicated baby room (suitable for up to 18 months old).
Members and non-members are also able to bring a companion to aid their little one whilst they attend sessions.
The room will include:
- Soft play equipment, including baby mats, textured fabrics, books and rattles
- Baby changing facilities
- A private nursing space, including a fridge for parents who are expressing milk
- Use of a microwave
Parents/partners with babies are welcome to use the room.
