Advocates are experienced practitioners from the LMC and the ICB, you can view their profiles and make contact when you are ready.
This can be anonymous if you wish. This jointly LMC and CCG funded service supports Somerset GPs, Practice Managers and Nurses who are experiencing challenges in their professional life.
This service is provided with a complete awareness of the need for confidentiality, the portal is password protected and the data encrypted. We take this issue very seriously – within the portal there is a facility to exchange messages with an Advocate. Unless you mention your name, the Advocate cannot identify you. You can use an anonymous username, however your chosen email will be used to send and receive messages to your inbox as well as via the messaging portal.
We feel this is vital because of the great sensitivity of some of the challenges that GPs and general practice staff experience.
