Media and public affairs round-up | |||
 | On 13 January, The Times covered our campaign to push-back against inappropriate requests for school sick notes. 17 January saw Londonwide LMCs running media training for four LMC members from Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest and Bromley. We continue to be very active in promoting the interests of London GPs and practice staff on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. We also support practices that are approached with media requests.
