Stand up for general practice in London
There are less than two weeks to stand for election to your Local Medical Committee.
If you are a GP who would like to stand up for general practice in the Capital, please consider standing for election onto your local LMC. It’s never been as important to make your voice heard and stand up for general practice in London as it is now.
With the unprecedented challenges and threats which GPs and practices are currently facing, LMCs are essential in representing the entire practice teams, and supporting them to face those challenges. LMCs across London do this by working with and influencing NHS England London, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), other health organisations, and local authorities to ensure the development of high quality general practice is supported in your borough.
Your profession and your patients need strong representation and this is your opportunity to make a lasting difference. LMCs covering all practice disciplines including partners, salaried, sessional and freelance GPs, and VTS trainees, ensure that a broad range of views are represented. Our recent surveys shows that the shape of the workforce is changing, and committees that reflect this are best able to represent their constituents.
We would particularly welcome nominations from those GPs who are under-represented on current LMCs.
To stand for election you need to complete a nomination form (which can be downloaded from our election website www.ersvotes.com/londonwidelmcs) and provide the names and email addresses of two supporting GPs in your constituency.
The website also includes information on roles and responsibilities for LMC members and a helpful ‘frequently asked questions’ document.
All completed forms should be returned to nominations@electoralreform.co.uk. You can also post your completed nomination form to Electoral Reform Services, The Election Centre, 33 Clarendon Road, London N8 0NW or fax it to 020 8365 7013.
Nominations must be received by 5.00pm on Friday 3 June 2016.
Any queries, questions or feedback regarding LMC elections can be directed to lmc-elections@lmc.org.uk and we hope to receive your nomination form by 3 June 2016.
