Media and public affairs round-up

On 12 December our CEO, Dr Lisa Harrod-Rothwell's remarks on the impact of access changes were covered by Pulse. On 23 November Dr Harrod-Rothwell was interviewed by BBC Politics London about figures from our workforce survey showing declining numbers of GPs and potential practice closures. The story was also picked up by BBC London TV and radio news bulletins. 

We continue to be very active promoting the interests of London GPs and practice staff on X (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.
