The College has run an
annual Spring Symposium for many years which was hosted by a
different RCGP faculty each year in a different location. The
Spring Symposium meetings have been extremely valued over the years
but declining numbers of delegates have resulted in the College
taking the decision to hold the last Spring Symposium in 2005,
which was held in Blackpool and hosted by the NW England Faculty.
In 2007, the College developed a new and
exciting event in the form of the Annual National Conference on
Primary Care. The aim was to establish this as the annual
event for the College, general practice and for primary care.
As well as providing opportunity to hear about principal
developments in general practice and primary care, the conference
provided an opportunity for College members and other members of
the primary care team across the UK to network and to learn
from one another.
The first Annual National Conference, held in October 2007 in
Edinburgh was a huge success and was extremely well attended.
The 2008 conference will be held in
Bournemouth from 2-4 October.
We look forward to seeing you there.
