About Annual Conference & Exhibition


The RCGP Annual Conference & Exhibition is the perfect opportunity to access 60+ hours of CPD (contributing to your own development and appraisal) but also meet other new GPs and colleagues, attend social events, and build a supportive and collaborative network from across the UK and beyond.

Free early years pre-conference summit


This year, we're also excited to invite you to an exclusive early career pre-conference summit at the Liverpool Delta Marriott, on Wednesday 2 October, designed specifically for GPs in their first ten years post CCT.

This free half-day event is tailored to provide invaluable support during the crucial early phases of your career. It will include a panel discussion, keynotes and breakout sessions on career and professional development, best practice from seasoned GPs, wellbeing, and resilience, building a GP career portfolio, and financial planning.
