LMC Scheme
Surrey and Sussex LMC runs an LMC Observer Scheme. Any GP colleague who would be interested in attending one local LMC meeting should contact the LMC Office. Under this Scheme, an honorarium and travel expenses are paid. This gives all colleagues the opportunity to attend and participate in an LMC meeting and the LMC hopes this offers a chance for any GP to know more about their local LMC.
All LMCs run elections on a regular cycle, and any GP can stand for election at this point. Between elections, interested colleagues can be invited to join the LMC by co-option. If agreed, a co-opted LMC member can stand for election in the normal way when Committee elections are next due.
Colleagues are encouraged to use the Observer Scheme as an opportunity to experience the LMC, and to talk with current members and the local LMC Chair and Deputy Chair, and LMC Directors, if they are interested in then applying for membership via the LMC Office.
