Welcome to London!

My name is Aya Ayoub. I'm a family doctor and I work in London. I'm also Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners’ Junior International Committee. Our committee runs educational and academic activities highlighting the power of family medicine around the world. We are also affiliated with the WONCA Europe young doctors’ movement, ‘Vasco Da Gama’. Our committee has the pleasure of hosting the WONCA Europe 2022 Vasco Da Gama Preconference in London over 27th-28th June 2022. We have an exciting programme lined up over the one and half day conference where we will explore what it means to offer truly global primary care which is inclusive, person-centred and sustainable. And, for those of you who wish to observe family medicine in the UK there is also the chance to apply to take part in a 2 day observational placement. I started by welcoming you to London - my home town - it's a dynamic, vibrant and international city. The perfect backdrop for reflecting on our conference theme ‘Primary Care in a Global Community’. On behalf of our team we really look forward to welcoming you to London!
