RCGP Wales in collaboration with British Society of Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine (BSPRM) - Neurodiversity & Neurorehabilitation in Primary Care Conference

RCGP Wales presents its first Neurodiversity & Neurorehabilitation in Primary Care Conference on 5 October 2026, at Cardiff City Stadium.

Given that approximately 15% of the population has a diagnosed neurodiverse condition (not including those awaiting assessment) and that the complex management of neurorehabilitation patients often falls to GPs to manage, this event is designed to navigate those areas. A full day programme will be delivered by consultant experts in the field of primary care and rehabilitation medicine.

Topics will include neurodiversity amongst GP trainees, management of complex neuro-rehabilitation in primary care, and bridging the gap between primary and secondary care. This day also provides the opportunity to network with local GPs who have an interest in neurodiversity, as well as the consultants within the neurorehabilitation team.

Booking is essential for this event. Booking link in comments below:

🌿 Supporting GP Wellbeing Through Nature & Connection, a webinar with Mind Over Mountains 🌿

Are you a GP looking for practical, sustainable ways to support mental health?

This upcoming webinar explores how reconnecting with nature can play a powerful role in restoring wellbeing and building resilience in demanding professional lives.

Drawing on the proven benefits of walks and treks, we’ll look at how time outdoors can:
- Reduce stress and support emotional balance
- Improve overall wellbeing
- Strengthen resilience in high-pressure roles

We’ll also highlight the importance of shared experiences—creating space for open, honest conversations with peers in supportive, non-clinical settings. These moments of connection can be vital in easing feelings of isolation and burnout.
Through practical insights and real-world examples, you’ll discover how nature, movement, and meaningful connection can work together to enhance mental health—both for you and those you care for.

👉 Join us to take a step towards a healthier, more supported way of working.
