Media and public affairs round-up

image

For World Refugee Week, starting 19 June, we are promoting our video resource on registering undocumented patients. On 16 June we were quoted in a GPOnline article on plans for NHS 111 to triage calls to practices in North West London.  

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.

 
Got a story? Email us at comms@lmc.org.uk.
Deadline for next month's submissions is Wednesday 12 July.
Download your resources from our GP State of Emergency website.
