General Practitioners with Extended Roles (GPwERs)

General Practitioners with Extended Roles
RCGP
  • GPs with Extended Roles (GPwERs) undertake roles that are beyond the scope of GP training and the MRCGP and require additional training. The term GPwER includes those previously referred to as GPs with Special Interests (GPwSIs).
  • The RCGP has developed a framework in partnership with NHS England, which describes a new approach to the accreditation of GPwERs and is aligned to the appraisal and revalidation process. The framework will form the basis of specialty-specific frameworks developed in the future.
  • See the guidance and competences for GPwERs for Dermatology and Skin Surgery
