Message from Dr Michelle Drage, CEO, Londonwide LMCs
“At this time of unprecedented pressure on GPs and practice staff across London the need for a strong professional voice has never been greater. Amid here today and gone tomorrow NHS bodies, LMCs offer stability, continuity and independent expertise across all aspects of general practice – by general practice, for general practice – from engaging with systems across London to supporting individual GPs, and everything in between.
“It is important that your LMC is representative of the whole profession and you’ll see a strong selection of candidates on the ballot if your area is going to ballot. If you are unfamiliar with the election process many of the candidates have provided a statement to help inform your decision, so please vote if you receive the email inviting you to do so.”
