ABOUT US
Your local representation
LMC representatives are elected to perform the role by GP peers. 10 seats for GP partners / salaried GPs are available to any GP from any practice (usually no more than 2 GPs from one practice) in the Borders. It is expected that members sit on the committee to represent the best interests of general practice in the region and not just their own practice or locality. In the event that a specific issue arises that only affects an individual practice or a group of practices then the committee can invite colleagues to an LMC meeting or co-opt colleagues on to the committee.The constitution outlines all the relevant details. To ensure effective representation of all our GP colleagues, the LMC includes GPST and sessional reps.
