Do you have experience and expertise that could benefit your peers? Why not share them and earn recognition from your colleagues? Submit your ideas for the opportunity to speak at the RCGP Annual Conference and Exhibition, taking place on 9-10 October 2025.
All sessions are 45 minutes long. As you plan your proposal, please think about how to make the information in your proposed session accessible to a wide range of members and a variety of healthcare professionals. Don’t forget to consider the virtual audience watching your session, as well as how much content you can effectively address in the 45 minutes available.
Topics for stream themes:
CPD: Clinical topics
A broad base of clinical knowledge and skills are needed for generalist medical practice. Sessions submitted should clearly focus on a defined clinical topic that reflects the scope of healthcare needs of our population, from those who are newly born, to our patients who are at the end stages of their lives.
Medical education
The sessions in this stream will focus on how GPs can improve their understanding of educational principles and approaches and help them to improve how they apply them in their day-to-day educational work. Sessions should focus on sharing educational principles, new ideas and best practice to help improve education in practice from students to specialist trainees and to the wider practice team.
Health & Wellbeing
General Practice is a fantastic place to work but in order to look after our patients we also need to look after ourselves. Enhancing personal, professional and practice wellbeing is the aim of this stream. The sessions should either aim to directly improve wellbeing through the content delivered or should equip GPs and the practice team with practical tools to maintain or improve their personal or professional well-being. Sessions should aim to leave attendees feeling empowered to make self-care a priority.
Sustainability
The RCGP acknowledges the climate crisis and the adverse consequences it has on the health of our communities. Sessions should focus on what actions we are taking, whether through examples or advocacy to promote healthy, sustainable living and reduce carbon emissions.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in General Practice
Working in General Practice involves creating and ensuring more equal, diverse, and inclusive cultures to allow for fair treatment and opportunity for all. Sessions should focus on how practices can eradicate prejudice and discrimination of an individual or group of individuals demographics and protected characteristics which include:
- Age
- Caring Responsibilities
- Disabilities
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage & Civil Partnerships
- Neurodiversity
- Pregnancy & Maternity
- Race
- Religion or Belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
Research & Innovation
High quality primary care research is vital to policy and clinical decision-making resulting in new conclusions to support our patients. Sessions will need to demonstrate the key role that research, and innovation plays in advancing the highest quality of care for our patients.
Health inequalities
General Practice plays a central role in addressing both causes and consequences of health inequalities in the UK. As GPs we remain close to the heart of our communities, and sessions need to reflect how GPs can positively influence health inequalities as practitioners, commissioners and community leaders.
Working with the wider multi-disciplinary team
This new stream explores the critical role of collaboration across various healthcare professionals in primary care settings. Sessions may cover topics such as learning strategies to enhance teamwork, how the MDT can improve patient outcomes, and how to address complex care needs through integrated, cross-disciplinary approaches.
