Changes to the Londonwide LMCs' Buying Group
Londonwide LMCs’ Buying Group will be ending its relationship with PSS on 31 December 2017, following concerns over the quality and advertising of some products.
New arrangements are imminent and our new service will ensure access to the most popular services from the old arrangements in the form of a one stop shop, as well as access to more bespoke services – you choose what is best for your practice.
We will be emailing you in January 2018 with further information about how to participate in our new Londonwide LMCs’ Buying Group helping you to gain the best discounts on practice consumables and services.
Practices will have access to current arrangements until 31 December 2017 and contracts that run beyond this date will continue without interruption.
If you have any queries, please contact Ann Ayamah at ann.ayamah@lmc.org.uk
