We will be hosting our inaugural London General Practice Awards in Parliament in February 2026, recognising the dedication and enterprise of our hard-working GPs and practice teams across the Capital.
Each award can be nominated by any constituent and can be self-nominated. The LMC member award can also be nominated by Londonwide LMCs’ colleagues. Nominations open on Monday 1 September and close on Friday 31 October. You are welcome to submit multiple nominations.
The awards event is also an opportunity to talk to MPs, peers, journalists and other opinion formers about the challenges facing GPs and practice teams at the moment, and to secure their support and allyship.
The 2026 London General Practice Awards will be held in the House of Commons from 2:15 – 4:50pm on Thursday 5 February 2026. You can register your interest in attending before Friday 5 December. Due to capacity restrictions at the venue, we have very limited space and will be prioritising successful nominees and their nominators, as well as ensuring that we have a range of attendees from across London. Invitations/ confirmation of attendance at the event will be sent out in December.
