HR in general practice: recruitment and selection

Londonwide LMCs recently ran a recruitment and selection workshop for GPs and practice management colleagues. The day was full of lively discussion as delegates considered all aspects of the recruitment and selection process, focussing particularly on how to enhance the effectiveness of the selection process while avoiding litigation risks.

Media and public affairs round-up

London’s imminent GP retirement crisis and the capital’s ongoing GP State of Emergency were highlighted in a BBC London report. An interview with Londonwide LMCs’ Chief Executive Dr Michelle Drage was broadcast and a piece appeared on the BBC’s website. Dr Drage’s call in her latest MWord for practices to encourage patients to vote was followed up by GPOnline. Michelle has also written to all newly-elected MPs in London.
