Information for Establishing GPs

This page provides content for newly qualified GPs who are establishing in practice.

The College's Network of Establishing GPs project (NEGs) was developed to support GPs in the early years of their career and to provide greater opportunities for establishing GPs to become involved in College affairs. NEGs is particularly interested in representing GPs who are registrars, locums, sessional, part-time, assistants (GMS or private), new principals and those who have recently completed their training in other countries.
