On 5 September Dr Michelle Drage, our CEO, was quoted in a Pulse story on how practices serving economically deprived areas are more likely to close. We also ran two media training sessions for LMC members.

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.
Contact buyinggroup@lmc.org.uk or visit the Londonwide LMCs’ Buying Group webpage for further information.
