The LMC represents all GPs in Gloucestershire; principals in GMS or PMS and non-principals. We recognise that the GP community is now diverse consisting of partners, senior partners, salaried, part-timers and also Sessional GP's. We would like to think our membership constitutes all variations of general practice.
