LCA Members Spring Luncheon

LCA Members and Corporate Sponsors are warmly invited to our Spring LCA Networking Lunch, with our special guest and after-lunch speaker, Chris Rockenbach, Managing Director International and Commercial, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

On this special occasion we shall also be introducing members and guests to our very recently appointed new Chairman of the LCA, Dr Shabbir Moochhala – we hope you can join us to hear some of Shabbir’s exciting plans for the Association.

LCA Friday Lunches are relaxed, informal and informative occasions for meeting and mingling with LCA members and our partners. Guest numbers limited to no more than 16, an ideal number for candid and useful round-table discussion under the Chatham House Rule.

Chris Rockenbach will be sharing some GOSH insights into the evolving independent sector, aligning the interests of doctors and hospitals, how this affects new consultants entering private practice, and what is the future for international patients in London.

For further event information and to reserve your place, email office@london-consultants.org by no later than 14 April. An invoice and menu information will be provided by return.
