On 11 May we produced an animation of a London GP's experience for Mental Health Awareness Week.

On 9 May Dr Lisa Harrod-Rothwell, our Deputy CEO, was quoted in a Pulse story on mental health pressures.

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.
