Promotional material for use in GP practices
February 2008
The BMA has produced a number of materials to aid LMCs and GP practices to promote the work of family doctors and counter a lot of the recent criticism GPs have experienced in the press. This section contains a number of resources that practices can download and print off for patients, or plagiarise and adapt for their own newsletters.
Newsletters
The General Practitioners Committee (GPC) is currently in the process of developing a series of newsletters for patients. They can be downloaded in pdf format and printed off for use in practices.
The GPC is in the process of designing a series of posters to be used in GP practices. They can be downloaded in pdf in a colour or black and white version depending on the configuration of your practice printer. Toolkits
