Wakefield Local Medical Committee (LMC) is the elected, statutory representative body for GPs across Wakefield. We provide expert advice, pastoral support and practical guidance to help GPs navigate contractual issues, workload pressures, professional challenges and system change.

We work alongside NHS and system partners to ensure general practice has a strong voice in local healthcare planning and decision-making. Whether you’re a GP partner, salaried doctor, locum or GP trainee, the LMC is here to represent your interests and offer confidential, supportive help when it’s needed.

This website provides trusted updates, guidance and local resources to support general practice in Wakefield. If you require individual advice or support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
