This letter forms part of the Mayor’s Loved and Wanted campaign that was launched in February and intends to show that the Capital values the diversity of its population and should be posted to practices in the final week of July.
The Mayor joins Dr Harrod-Rothwell in highlighting the value GPs provide, including being:
- embedded in local communities, using a holistic approach to continuity of care that builds trusted relationships; and
- present from birth to adulthood, through big life changes such as new jobs, new communities and new living situations, supporting and caring for patients’ health.
Practices are also encouraged to use the Doctors of the World’s Safe Surgeries Toolkit.
