Providing Advice & Guidance to
General Practitioners in Kent


Dear Colleagues

Here is our lated website update and as you can see there are quite a few new documents. The LMC Buying Group continues to expand and more LMCs are joining, including all of the London LMCs. This will significantly increase the buying power of the group to get the best prices.

Our first buying group fayre is taking place at the Holiay Inn in Ashford and all managers and GPs are invited to drop in. Of particular interest will be an opportunity to see and handle the range of single use instruments on offer from Mid Meds. These were recently demonstrated in Medway and the overwhelming opinion of GPs was extremely positive.

Finally practices are reminded to lodge appeals with your PCT if you feel that the practice was unfairly treated as a result of the PE7 & PE8 results.
