Media and public affairs round-up

On 15 April Dr Michelle Drage, our CEO, was quoted in BBC London online and TV coverage of problems with testing services in South East London. This story was followed up by a number of outlets including Pulse , who also quoted Dr Sara Riley, our Medical Director for South East London, and MailOnline.

We continue to be very active promoting the interests of London GPs and practice staff on BlueskyTwitter, 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.
