In February, alongside our annual general meeting, we will be hosting our inaugural London General Practice Awards in Parliament, recognising the dedication and enterprise of our hard working GPs and practice teams across the Capital.
We also hope to use the event as an opportunity to talk to MPs, peers, journalists and other opinion formers about the challenges facing GPs and their teams at the moment, and to secure their support and allyship.
You can nominate for any of the 11 award categories as many times as you like, with one form per nomination. This is your chance to be recognised and to recognise others by saying thanks to the colleagues and team members around you in your practice, and in the wider profession.
The 11 award categories are:
- London General Practice Safety Award – recognising a group or individual’s contributions to safe general practice services;
- London LMC Member Award one for each of the five London ICB area – for demonstrating outstanding commitment to safe sustainable care and the future of general practice;
- London General Practice Nursing Team Award – for outstanding contribution to patient care and practice team collaboration;
- London General Practice Non-Clinical Team Award – for outstanding contribution to patient care and practice team collaboration;
- London General Practice Patient Group Award – recognising the patient group that has worked in partnership with general practice to co-create/support safe, high quality sustainable services;
- London General Practice Long Service Award;
- London General Practice Parliamentary Champion Award – for advocacy and support for general practice in the Capital.
We will also be taking the time to remember colleagues we have lost in the past year. You can share details of colleagues and friends who we have passed away via the same nomination form.
Attendance
The event will be held in the House of Commons between 2:30 – 4:50pm, on Thursday 6 February.
You can register your interest in attending before Friday 6 December.
Whilst people are expressing interest in attending but confirmation will be sent out in December, due to limited numbers/ limitations of Parliamentary venue. We will also be trying to ensure that there are attendees from areas where MPs have confirmed their attendance.
Nominations
Nominations are now open and close at the end of November.
All categories can be nominated by any constituent and can be self-nominated. The LMC member award can also be nominated by Londonwide LMCs’ colleagues. The event is pan-London and those practicing in Barking & Dagenham and Havering (BDH LMCs) and Kingston, Richmond and Croydon (Surrey and Sussex LMCs) are welcome to nominate themselves or local colleagues.
