Media and public affairs round-up |
|
 |
On 17 May Dr Michelle Drage, our CEO, had her message to London practices regarding the NHS England face-to-face access letter covered by the HSJ and GPOnline. On 30 April, Dr Lisa Harrod-Rothwell was quoted in a Pulse article on practice closure statistics, which was also widely syndicated via a press release. 21 August is Cycle to Work Day, we are collecting photos of general practice staff out and about on their bikes to highlight the importance of being active, if you would like to send us a photo please do via info@lmc.org.uk. We continue to be very active in promoting the interests of London GPs and practice staff on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. If you have an example of general practice doing something well which could make a news story please get in touch. We also support practices that are approached with media requests. You can find details here. |
