Londonwide LMCs celebrates the NHS at 68
To celebrate the NHS turning 68 on 5 July Dr Michelle Drage wrote a piece for the Huffington Post, asking ‘Is NHS General Practice No Longer a Valued Member of the Family as It Turns 68?’. This was promoted on social media and well received for raising some important issues and celebrating the accomplishments of general practice during its 68 years providing NHS services.
Londonwide LMCs also produced social media content, with London GPs providing birthday messages and fact cards looking at general practices accomplishments. These appeared on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
