Support We Provide
PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT SERVICE
This confidential service provides support and guidance to GPs, Practice Managers, and other members. If you are struggling with internal strife within a partnership, burnout, or your personal workload is threatening to become unmanageable our Professional support offices can provide you with agile support tailored to your specific needs.
LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
Our Leadership and Management Support Service is there to support the 'team' when things have become difficult and may lead to serious problems, or when there is an issue too difficult to deal with alone. When requested, the LMC will set up an initial meeting to discuss the issue and then develop a plan with you to work towards resolution. We also provide a scalable service to support conflict resolution and improved business performance.
GP COACHING
Developing Individuals to enhance professional performance.
We are currently running a dedicated GP Coaching Programme funded by NHS England. It is primarily aimed at GPs who have reached a crossroads in their career and would value a series of structured sessions to support their development. The scheme can be accessed directly through the LMC office and following an initial telephone discussion to assess suitability, GPs will be offered up to 4 x 1 hour coaching sessions with an ILM5 or equivalent level qualified coach.

PM COACHING SERVICE
We're developing a bespoke six-month leadership programme for Practice Managers, focusing on essential skills, resilience, and tools to enhance team performance, support staff wellbeing, and lead with confidence in today's fast-paced healthcare environment. Open to all Practice Managers, regardless of experience, this programme will equip you with the latest evidence-based strategies in positive psychology and leadership development.
GPN SUPPORT PROGRAMME
The current pressures in General Practice, combined with recruitment and retention challenges, are significantly impacting the GPN workforce. The LMC recognises that many GPNs are feeling stretched, overwhelmed, and isolated, leading some to question their future in the role. Our new facilitated support program is specifically designed for those who may be feeling this way, particularly those considering leaving their current role for another sector or early retirement.
Programme Highlights:
-
Six Peer Sessions: Over six months, participate in financially supported sessions designed for collaborative development on topics that matter to you.
-
Emotional Exploration: Delve into your feelings, identify their causes, and discover effective solutions.
-
Networking Opportunities: Connect with peers in similar roles, fostering a supportive network beyond your practice.
-
Expert Resources: Gain access to a wealth of resources and expert advice.
-
Skill Development: Learn new strategies to enhance your workday control and achieve a better work-life balance.
