Welcome to the
Association of Surgeons in Primary Care

The Association is for anyone who performs surgical procedures in the community, whether they be GP’s or hospital consultants. We provide support, training, and professional development to our members. We host an annual conference and run an accredited audit programme.

Membership is open to all who have an interest in developing such services; be that in medical, nursing, commissioning or related sectors.

The Association of Surgeons in Primary Care (ASPC) is affiliated with the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and the PCSA, our sister organisation in the Republic of Ireland.

The ASPC also has links with the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Association of Surgeons in Training and the British Association of day surgery.  

The ASPC liases with the Care Quality Commission, Integrated Care Boards and represents members in negotiations affecting the provision of surgery in the community. Our Council includes experts across the spectrum of Community surgery who provide a valuable information resource to all ASPC members.
