Media and public affairs round-up

This month we have assisted several GP practices with media enquiries, including managing a potential media and political clinic visit and queries relating to premises and access.

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.

Deadline for next month's submissions is Wednesday 10 April.
