GP Survival Guide
Our Survival Guide is intended as an easy to refer to resource for use during clinical sessions, allowing practitioners to:
- Easily understand what activity they are required to undertake and what they can push back against.
- Explain to patients, trusts, commissioners and other bodies why a piece of activity should be provided elsewhere in the system.
- Seek help from their local medical committee or the Londonwide LMCs team where their ability to deliver safe care is compromised by an issue outside the gift of the practice to resolve.
It also draws together other resources to help you to design and make changes that support safe, effective working.
