An opportunity for PMs to hear the latest guidance for practices from the team at Wessex LMCs
“Great LMC update last week, listened to last night, your support to us PMs is amazing”
“Thank you as always for the really useful lunchtime PM updates. They are useful and it is encouraging to be reminded we are not alone!”
“Thank you for all your hard work and support to practices, personally, I would be lost without you”
