LMC elections 2018
It’s LMC election time again at Londonwide LMCs!
This year every LMC seat is up for election. Any GP working in one of the 27 London boroughs we represent may be nominated for election regardless of their contractual status. In particular, we welcome nominations from those GPs who are under-represented on current LMCs. Serving on your LMC can be a worthwhile and rewarding role.
Dr Michelle Drage, CEO of Londonwide LMCs says: “This year is the first time all the seats across our 27 LMCs have been up for election simultaneously and provides a great opportunity to add new talent to LMCs. It's important to get every London GP partner, employed, locum, new entrant and trainee GP involved in their LMC.”
