During November/December, the LMC will undertake a data cleanse and will contact all practices to confirm the names and contact details for all GPs working at each practice.  This information is required to ensure that all eligible GPs are included in the nomination/election process.  We appreciate how busy Practice Managers are, but we are dependent on practices supplying this information.

The LMC will invite nominations from early February 2022 and an e-mail will be sent to each GP for whom an address has been provided. A copy of this e-mail will also be sent to Practice Managers who will be asked to share with all GPs working at the practice to cover any GPs that we do not hold details for.

Nominations will close around 25th February 2022 and if the number of nominations in any constituency exceeds the number of places available, an election will be held. It is expected that voting will be done electronically and that the ballot will run from around 4th to 25th March 2022.

Further details will be provided later in the year but if you have any questions regarding LMC elections or representation, please do not hesitate to contact the office.
