More about these support services...
GP Support Offer offers professional support for practitioners who may be struggling with challenges or obstacles which are causing a negative impact on their performance in the workplace.
Practice Manager Supporters provide ad hoc advice and support to their practice manager colleagues, and offer learning opportunities to support Continuous Professional Development for PMs. The PM Supporters offer coaching and mentoring to new and experienced practice managers, and have specific training to enable them to appraise fellow practice managers. They offer support in person, via email or on the telephone.
The Cameron Fund is the GPs' own charity. It is the only medical benevolent fund that solely supports general practitioners and their dependents. The Charity provides support to GPs and their families in times of financial need, whether through ill-health, disability, death or loss of employment. The Charity also helps those who are already suffering from financial hardship and those who are facing it.
The new General Practice Resilience Programme (GPRP) will operate to deliver the commitment set out in the General Practice Forward View to invest £40m over the next four years to support struggling practices. This programme aims to deliver a menu of support that will help practices to become more sustainable and resilient, better placed to tackle the challenges they face now and into the future, and securing continuing high quality care for patients.
Support for the Practice Team - Plenty of resources and helpful contacts to support the whole practice team.
At the LMC we are often contacted by general practice staff who are in need of help, but very few are aware of the range of support that is available or how to access it. Our booklet Support for General Practice aims to provide this.
