Media and public affairs round-up

On 28 April, Pulse published an opinion piece by Dr Lisa Harrod-Rothwell, our Deputy CEO, reflecting on the GP Forward View. On 7 April Management in Practice covered our latest workforce survey results. On 28 March our communications team arranged contact with GP sources for an Observer article on how GPs avoid vaccine wastage. We have also provided information for queries from Pulse, GPOnline, the HSJ and the Independent during April.

We continue to be very active in promoting the interests of London GPs and practice staff on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. If you have an example of general practice doing something well which could make a news story please get in touch. We also support practices that are approached with media requests. You can find details here.
