Our calendar of varied social and professional networking events provides a platform to expand and enrich your professional links, exchange information and expertise, and learn more about the services available to your business.
Our lunches, dinners and informal receptions provide ‘fireside chat’ opportunities to raise your issues directly with our invited speakers and special guests, including leaders in business, government and the wider political and health environment.
Appraisals
LCA’s close links with the Federation of Independent Practitioner Organisations affords members access to the FIPO Consultant Appraisal Service at a discounted fee.
FIPO-CAppS is an Appraisal service for Consultants and General Practitioners in the Independent Sector, using the L2P platform. FIPO-CAppS does not conduct the appraisal but matches Appraisers and Appraisees, providing a managed environment in which the appraisal process can take place.
For more information, contact office@london-consultants.org or see www.fipo.org.
Special Interest Groups
New issues or challenges arise frequently within the constantly evolving private healthcare environment. LCA is responsive, flexible and agile. We link like-minded consultants, creating forums for discussion, debate, planning and action. Members are alerted to any new short-life forums and all are welcome to participate.
Our diverse membership has expertise across many fields, giving us facility also for Expert groups, such as our Medico-legal group.
LCA Medico-Legal Group
The London Consultants Association in tandem with Hempsons Solicitors proudly offers our members exclusive access to our Medico-legal Expert Witness Group.
With Hempsons, we host Medico-Legal Group meetings four times a year to review new developments in case law, the expert witness process and how to better prepare as an expert witness. We discuss topics such as clinical negligence and medical indemnity, briefed by leading experts in those fields.
