On 24 May GPOnline included our workforce survey statistics in their coverage of GP to patient ratios. On 11 May Pulse quoted a message from Dr Michelle Drage, our CEO, to London practices about managing workload in response to new access requirements. On 10 May Pulse quoted Dr Drage in their round-up of responses to the publication of the Primary care recovery plan. On 28 April our report Retention in London general practice was discussed on the GPOnline podcast.

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.

The Buying Group is available to all London practices and gives access to discounts on
a wide range of goods and services from Miab, MidMeds, Practice Index and Surgery Connect.
