Legal and Financial Advice

 

Worcestershire LMC Ltd cannot provide individual GPs or practices with legal or financial advice. However, we can offer our constituents access to a range of legal services.

 

Worcestershire LMC Law

 

The services are offered under the banner of WLMC LAW, in conjunction with LMC Law Limited and are designed to assist and facilitate legal advice and services to practices and primary care networks.

We support the delivery of these services, with a view to ensuring that our constituents receive high quality expert advice from legal professionals with significant general practice experience. The services are subject always to the terms and conditions of service, a copy of which can be provided upon request.

The HR Service is only available to the medical profession and is run by HR consultants under a contract which can be renewed annually. Services are subject always to the terms and conditions of service, a copy of which can be provided upon request.

BMA Law

 

BMA Law was set up by the British Medical Association to provide expert legal advice to the medical community.

In 2015 it became licensed as a fully independent law firm, allowing it to provide a full range of services. In addition to providing legal services to individuals and their family members it also acts as the BMA’s legal services provider. It is not necessary to be a BMA member to use BMA Law services, but if you are, you will benefit from discounted rates.

Support is offered across the medical community, including:

 

• Doctors

• Medical students

• GP practices and GP networks/federations
