My name is Michael and I am Network Manager of the LMC Support Network.
I am also the Chief Executive of Nottinghamshire Local Medical Committee as well as Plexus Support Services which includes the GP Phoenix Programme, GP-S and the LMC Buying Group.
I have worked with GPs since 1996 as part of a 12-year RAF career in the Defence Medical Services service career. My roles since leaving the RAF in 2006 have included work in out-of-hours care, clinical commissioning, and practice management prior to taking up my current role. I have also volunteered as a listening volunteer with Samaritans and led the training department at the Nottingham branch.
I believe that LMCs have a responsibility to support, advise and support GPs and their practices as well as take a leading role in influencing local policy in their areas and that we can help eachother in LMCs to be the best we can collectively.
