The Scottish Royal College of General Practitioner's (RCGP Scotland) website contains information primarily for GPs. However, the College has a Patient centre and recognises the importance of forming partnerships with patients so has established a group called Patient Partnership in Practice (P3). It is committed to working in partnership with the public on decision-making, setting policy objectives and developing patient care in Scotland. Please contact the group if you would like to draw attention to patient issues of national consequence.
