WONCA Europe 2009: reflections and personal highlights.

In April 2009 we launched the RCGP Junior International Committee, the UK representative body to the Vasco da Gama Movement. Since then we have worked hard to establish a network of UK trainees and junior GPs with an interest in international primary care, as well as promote international exchange and research. This year's WONCA Europe conference was a great success for the group with the presence of a strong UK contingent. We hope to repeat this success next year and inspire an even greater number of trainees and junior GPs to take part in international conferences and clinical exchange.
