Do you want to learn about the impact of Commissioning and recent challenges faced by GP services, Junior doctors, NHS staff and medical students? Do you want to work out what we can do locally? There will be talks, workshop discussions and sample activities people can sign up to – find ways to use your skills to help the campaign. Email
