IMPORTANT MEETINGS FOR
GPS AND PRACTICE MANAGERS

GPs have already been made aware of the Governments intention to impose changes to GP contracts from April 2013. The Government is now formally consulting with the GPC on the terms of the imposition.

The views of GPs are crucial in helping shape the GPC’s response. These proposals will require practices to take on yet more work with increasingly unstable practice income. The GPC will shortly be launching a GP Survey and convening a series of regional meetings to gather the views of GPs.

The meeting in the Eastern Region is to take place at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford on Wednesday 30th January 2013 at 7.30pm. (Speaker Peter Holden) In view of the importance of this exercise and as a means of maximising the opportunity for GPs and Practice Managers to attend, Essex LMCs have arranged two further meetings the details of which can be found below:

Tuesday 5th February 2013 - Marks Tey Hotel, Marks Tey. 7.30pm
Speaker Brian Balmer
Monday 11th February 2013 - Basildon Holiday Inn, Basildon 7.30pm
Speaker Brian Balmer
A Hot fork buffet will be available at each of the two meetings above from 6.45pm

To attend ANY of the three meetings, please reserve your place via the LMC office.
