Local medical committee conference

摘要

Calling for unity among GPs, the chairman of the General Medical Services Committee warned that internal division would cause the national family doctor service to disintegrate. In his last address to the local medical committee (LMC) conference Dr Ian Bogle, who will stand down as GMSC chairman next month, said that only if they were united would GPs be able to influence the government and help to shape the future of general practice. "We must frustrate any intention to return to a secondary care dominated NHS. We must recreate a quality of professional life that will attract young doctors back to our calling and make others think twice before leaving," he said.
