Sessional GP subcommittee nominations close tomorrow
Nominations for the BMA GPC’s Sessional GP subcommittee close at 12:00 on Thursday 18 April. It is vital that this important part of the GP workforce is represented by strong voices.
Following some confusion around the scope of the new state-backed scheme, we quizzed each of the medical defence organisations on what additional cover they can provide since the launch of the Clinical Negligence Scheme GP (CNSGP).
The forum will meet for the first time on 13 June and is open to health care support workers, health care assistants, assistant practitioners and associate practitioners across London.
Remember to use BEAM to LMC to highlight the pressure you are under
Our BEAM to LMC mobile app, which enables you to tell us about the pressures you are under from commissioners and others, is proving popular. Make sure you check the app for push notifications.
We continue to be very active in promoting the interests of London GPs and practice staff on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. If you have an example of general practice doing something well which could make a news story please get in touch. We also support practices that are approached with media requests. You can find details here.
