News: Help us to improve GMCtoday

29 January 2010

What changes would you make?

We are planning a number of improvements to GMCtoday and want to hear the views of doctors about what the magazine should contain.

Many doctors now prefer to receive information online and there are major cost and environmental benefits from producing fewer printed publications. If you want to give us your views on how we should produce the magazine or what it should contain email gmctoday@gmc-uk.org
