For #SocialMobilityDay, we are featuring a guest blog by Dr Elliott Singer, our Deputy CEO. He shares his journey to becoming a GP and discusses ways to encourage more individuals from less privileged backgrounds to enter the profession. www.lmc.org.uk/news/social-...

Today @drlisajhr.bsky.social officially steps into our CEO role, leading on speaking up for frontline GPs across London and supporting them as general practice enters a period of substantial change. www.lmc.org.uk/news/dr-lisa...

"Transferring funding to general practice for preventative and proactive care is a highly efficient way of reducing the number of people who become ill enough to need hospital care, easing the strain across the whole health system” says Dr Lisa Harrod-Rothwell. www.lmc.org.uk/news/media-c...

This I did last year for @londonwidelmcs.bsky.social gives a fair run at it. www.lmc.org.uk/news/why-imp...

"Practices are rushing around trying to submit large volumes of complicated paperwork to access funds intended for use in the 2024/25 financial year only a few weeks before it ends" - Dr Sukhpal Shergill, our Medical Director for North West London. www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/practic...

Yesterday’s celebration of general practice was really positive, well done to all the winners at the 2025 London General Practice Awards! Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Houses of Parliament and made the day so special.

There's just under two weeks left to vote in the BMA division elections covering: North Central London; North East London; North West London; Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham; Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley; City and Hackney; and Enfield and Haringey. www.bma.org.uk/what-we-do/a...

This interview with Westminster LMC's Dr Paul O'Reilly by @mkdhlln.bsky.social is not only a wonderful summary of his team's vital work, but also a case study on what happens if a practice is given reasonable autonomy to decide how it meets its patients' needs. www.pulsetoday.co.uk/views/not-yo...

It's exactly a month until our inaugural awards, held at Parliament on 6 February and recognising the hard work of GPs and practice teams across London. The event will also give GPs the opportunity to talk to MPs about the issues affecting them. www.lmc.org.uk/news/londonw...

For #InternationalMigrantsDay, Londonwide LMCs and organisations such as @dotwuk.bsky.social share how we can support practices with registering undocumented patients. www.lmc.org.uk/resources/vi...

Maybe we need just one more big push of wringing yet more rushed appointments out of an exhausted workforce to improve patient satisfaction. It's either that or actually try quality over quantity, which would never work, right? www.gponline.com/gp-appointme...

With just a few days to go until nominations close on Saturday, this is your chance to be recognised and to recognise others by saying thanks to the colleagues and team members around you in your practice ! Nominations close 30 November.

On 6 February 2025, we will be recognising the hard work of GPs and practice teams at an awards ceremony in the House of Commons. Take this opportunity to commend your colleagues and team members, both in your practice and the wider profession. www.lmc.org.uk/news/londonw...

For the 16 Days of #ActionAgainstDomesticViolence, we are sharing guidance for practices on safeguarding patients who are victims and survivors of domestic or sexual abuse, including managing record access and redacting sensitive information. digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs...

With winter now fully setting in we know that demand on practices will be ramping up. It's important for GPs to have control of their workload and be able to provide care in a safe, sustainable way. Our webinar explains how. www.lmc.org.uk/resources/sa...
