March 2016 Newsletter

LMCs across London have recently written to their local Trusts in support of their Junior Doctor colleagues, echoing their concerns about the safety of the new contract which is set to be imposed.

This week the Chancellor delivered his 2016 Budget Statement.

Our new waiting room poster and template practice letter will help practice staff manage requests for letters supporting housing applications.

Next month you will have a chance to stand for election to your LMC. Read a sessional GP’s perspective in our latest update.

If you haven't already done so, please complete a short online survey to help us capture any issues this year's seasonal flu campaign has presented to you. The closing date is 21 March.

As year-end approaches practice manager Virginia Patania looks at how to keep on top of record keeping and deadlines throughout the year.

In a collaboration between Resilient GP, GP Survival and Londonwide LMCs, we invite your collective wisdom on ideas which might form a rescue package for General Practice. If you haven't already, please tell us what your priorities are by 21 March.

The national campaign aims to remind people about the importance of seeing a doctor promptly if they notice 'blood in pee'.

Michelle has recently spoken about resilience and battling burnout at two events, Commissioning Live on 3 March and the Family Doctor Association on 3 February.

Dr Elliott Singer, one of our medical directors, wrote a piece for Pulse magazine on revalidation (requires free registration to access), published on 1 March.
