The LMC are seeking two Practice Managers who are motivated and committed to represent, develop, and protect general practice to join the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Local Medical Committee (LMC).

As addressed in our previous communication, six of the seats for the LMC governing body (Board) are up for election, as well as two Practice Manager board representative posts. The newly elected board will meet for the first time at the November Board meeting (Wednesday 13 November), although new members will be invited to attend the October Board meeting (Wednesday 9 October) in a shadowing capacity.

The term of office is for two years, and existing board members are eligible for re-election. This electoral term, we are seeking to elect/co-opt two practice managers, one from the City and one from the County/Rutland.
