Media and public affairs round-up |
|
 |
On 7 October Dr Michelle Drage, our CEO, was quoted in the Independent, Telegraph, Metro and numerous other publications, following on from a Pulse story on practice closures which Michelle was also quoted in. On 1 October, Kathryn Yates, our Director of Primary Care Nursing and Workforce, Training and Innovation was quoted in Management in Practice speaking about our General Practice Management Training Programme. 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. |
