Child Protection: Maintaining Your Skills - 23 November 2009

Child Protection letter from Dr Laurence Buckman, Chairman, General Practitioners Committee Professor and Steve Field, Chairman of Council, Royal College of General Practitioners

Dear LMCs,
I attach a joint GPC/RCGP letter to the profession on the issue of child protection. Please note that we are sending this out via LMCs (i.e this email), to GPC members, and in the BMA's weekly electronic newsletter to BMA members. It will also be available on the BMA website. The RCGP may also distribute it to its members.

I'd therefore be grateful if you could draw this to the attention of your GPs. Please also note that the English DH is writing to PCTs with a copy of the attached letter. When the final DH letter is available, I will distribute it to you (although please note that I am on leave from tomorrow to Monday).

With kind regards,

Julie Goodway
GPC secretariat for contracts and performance subcommittee
