Retired from Clinical Practice
the British Medical Association was determined that the profession should have a voice in its day-to-day running
LMCs are recognised by successive NHS Acts as the statutory professional organisation to represent all GPs.
They are not Trade Unions. All GPs whether principals or salaried, whether they hold a General Medical Services, Personal Medical Services or Primary Care Trust Personal Medical Services are constituents of an LMC. Alternative / Special Personal Medical Services doctors will be fully represented subject to a levy being paid on their behalf. Sessional GPs may pay a voluntary levy if they wish to be fully represented by the LMCs.
LMCs represent GPs in discussions with local, regional and national health bodies. LMCs also have a pastoral function.
