Fraser Macintosh Rose, (3 February 1897 – 2 October 1972), known as Fraser Rose, was a physician who worked as a general practitioner (GP), and is best known for co-founding the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP). He served in the First World War and saw action in Gallipoli and the Balkans.
Following a gunshot wound and a back injury, he returned to Britain to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, qualifying in 1924.
After junior posts at Bradford Royal Infirmary and Brighton, he settled into general practice in Preston, where he remained until his retirement. Rose was for many years active on the Council of the British Medical Association (BMA), on numerous medical committees both before and after the inception of the National Health Service, and in other areas of medical politics.
Along with particularly John Hunt and others, he made considerable contributions to the "steering committee" that set up the College, which in 1967 was given the royal prefix to become the RCGP.
He became its president in 1962.
