Wakefield Local Medical Committee

Supporting General Practice in Wakefield

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

We work with NHS partners and local system leaders to ensure general practice has a strong voice in healthcare planning and decision-making. Whether you’re a GP partner, salaried GP, locum or GP trainee, we represent your interests and provide confidential help when needed. For individual advice, please contact the LMC.
