Its influence extends across various facets of general practice, including education, policy development and practice standards. Through this work, the RACGP, strives to enhance the quality of care provided to patients while also supporting GPs. The broad nature of the RACGP’s role makes it the peak body in the general practice and primary healthcare space.
The RACGP Awards
