On 15 June our CEO Dr Michelle Drage appeared on BBC Radio London’s Eddie Nestor show to talk about the pressures on general practice. On 20 June we circulated our animation on registering patients in general practice for World Refugee Day.

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.
