The Local Medical Committee (LMC) is an independent organisation which represents all local general practitioners working within the NHS.

As the local representative committee of NHS GPs, the LMC is recognised in the NHS Acts and Regulations, as the body with whom NHS England must consult (through its regional office) on issues affecting the administration of GPs’ contracts and remuneration, and the services they provide to patients.

The LMC represents all GPs within its geographical area of responsibility and also has many other professional and statutory responsibilities.
