Kernow Local Medical Committee has successfully pushed for the General Practitioners’ Committee (GPC) to hold a dedicated virtual roadshow for Cornwall on the next steps of the GP Contract and the ballot on potential collective action.
Dr Katie Bramall-Stainer, GPC Chair, and Dr Julius Parker, GPC Deputy Chair, will explain the ballot, the timing, the options and the plan for action.
They will share expert legal opinion about the risk associated with any action and why what is being proposed will be safe for you, your staff, your business and your patients.
They will also launch the British Medical Association’s GP Practice Survival Toolkit to Protect your Practice, Protect your Patients.
There will be plenty of time for a Q&A and considered debate.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, 11 July, from 7-9pm, and is open to all local GPs, GP registrars and Practice Managers/equivalent.
To register and receive the webinar link, please email rich@kernowlmc.co.uk by Thursday, 4 July.
