Important Londonwide CEO message number 7 - 2 July 2009

From today the rest of the UK will be in the same position as we reached in London last week. This is known as the 'Treatment' phase. In other words, all GPs will now simply use clinical judgement to manage swine flu.

Today, a speech has been delivered by the Minister for Health in which GPs have been praised for doing what we and our teams do best - caring for our patients.

We are currently working on a local media push to help patients to put this illness into context. Please continue to use our flu@lmc.org.uk address to inform us of any concerns or suggestions you may have to better manage what will be an ongoing health issue in the coming weeks.
