Winter access examples sought
We are looking for examples to highlight how people can access appropriate care from GP practices, wider primary care and other community based services this winter, to feed into a public awareness campaign called My London GP.
If your practice and/or other providers of care in your local area would like to provide an example of how you are meeting the needs of patients in this busy winter period please get in touch via info@lmc.org.uk. We are interested in first person blogs, filmed interviews and photos from GPs, practice nurses and other care professionals.
