LDC Lanarkshire

NHS Lanarkshire

Hello!

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new chair of Lanarkshire LDC. I am a practice owner of a mixed 3 surgery practice in Rutherglen and am acutely aware of the issues GDPs are experiencing, as I have experienced many of them within my own practice. I am very grateful to the committee for allowing me this opportunity and look forward to getting to know and working with GDPs across Lanarkshire over the next 3 years. 
We currently have vacant seats on the LDC and I want to encourage GDPs to get involved with your local committee.  When I joined Lanarkshire LDC about 8 years ago, I found the world of dental politics extremely daunting. However, I think it’s been the single best decision I’ve made in my dental career. As a young practice owner, the support I have received from committee members past and present is unrivalled.  The committee has a wealth of knowledge, and it very much is a problem shared is a problem halved.  Committee membership is open to any GDP working in the Lanarkshire area.  To fully represent dentists in Lanarkshire we need a range of GDPs both practice owners and associates at varying stages of their career.  If you are interested in being involved, please feel free to reach out to the committee via the contact details on our website.
