Our Committee Members
Birmingham Local Medical Committee is comprised of dedicated local GPs who volunteer their time and expertise to represent, support, and advocate for colleagues across the city. We are incredibly grateful for their continued commitment, leadership, and unwavering support in championing the values of general practice.
The committee is structured across geographical constituencies (North, South, East, and West) alongside co-opted members from across the local healthcare system to ensure comprehensive, democratic representation.
How it works. Birmingham LMC has two linked parts: the statutory committee of GPs elected by their peers, and Birmingham Local Medical Committee Ltd, the not-for-profit company that runs our services and employs our staff. The company is led by a Board of seven directors drawn from the executive subcommittee. Read how the LMC works →
