The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Local Medical Committee (LLRLMC) are seeking to elect two Practice Managers onto the LMC board.
As addressed in our previous communication, we are coming to the end of the current electoral term, so are looking for two motivated and committed practice managers to represent, develop, and protect general practice.
In line with our constitution, we are looking for two practice managers (1 City based and 1 County/Rutland based) to join the LMC governing body (Board) from November 2026.
The newly elected board will meet for the first time at the November Board meeting (Wednesday 11th November), although new members will be invited to attend the October Board meeting (Wednesday 14th October) in a shadowing capacity.
The term of office is for two years, and existing board members are eligible for re-election.
Practice Managers can self-nominate to stand for election, with a statement of up to 2000 characters to be included on the election papers and be able to fulfil all of the following criteria(s):
- Working within a LLR practice as a Practice Manager (or equivalent)
- Be able to commit to attend the face-to-face LMC monthly board meeting, afternoon of the 2nd Wednesday of the month
- Willing to abide by the LMC governance documents (see below)
