GPDF - General Practitioners' Defence Fund

Conference Funding

Part of our work involves funding LMC conferences in England, Scotland and Wales and the UK.

There are four policy making LMC conferences a year (UK, England, Scotland and Wales) all of which are important sessions to enable LMC delegates to come together to debate issues of importance to general practice. The output of these conferences then feed into each of the General Practice Committees (UK, England, Scotland and Wales).

A further conference for LMC Secretaries is held each year to facilitate mutual development and joint working for LMCs and the GPC.

GPDF funds each of these conferences, including paying for the venue to hold each conference, and funding travel and accommodation expenses for representatives from LMCs according to set limits.
