Londonwide LMCs recently ran a recruitment and selection workshop for GPs and practice management colleagues. The day was full of lively discussion as delegates considered all aspects of the recruitment and selection process, focussing particularly on how to enhance the effectiveness of the selection process while avoiding litigation risks.
London’s imminent GP retirement crisis and the capital’s ongoing GP State of Emergency were highlighted in a BBC London report. An interview with Londonwide LMCs’ Chief Executive Dr Michelle Drage was broadcast and a piece appeared on the BBC’s website. Dr Drage’s call in her latest MWord for practices to encourage patients to vote was followed up by GPOnline. Michelle has also written to all newly-elected MPs in London.
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, you can find details of how to get support here.
