It's election year at Londonwide LMCs!
It’s LMC election time again at Londonwide LMCs!
Elections take place every two years on a rolling basis and any GP working in one of the 27 London boroughs we represent may be nominated for election. We welcome representation from all GPs including partners, employed and freelancers.
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.
A Salaried GP who stood for election last time around told us that: “Salaried doctors can really benefit from being a member of the LMC as it provides a vital outlet for raising issues and concerns that may not affect some of our colleagues in different contractual positions. It is so important to be involved in these changing times for general practice, so regardless of your involvement in medical politics, or your level of understanding of GP issues, you will be welcomed and fully supported as a new LMC member.”
Watch out for more information in the coming months.
