Essentially Medical is a franchise company whereby local area Team Leaders offer GPs and their clinical practice staff the opportunity of local consultants visiting the surgery to deliver free lunchtime or early evening education sessions.  Pharmaceutical companies sponsor the meetings by sending along a representative but medical education  is the priority.

By introducing the 'Lunch and Learn' programme, Essentially Medical enables both busy Consultants and GPs to meet each other in an informal atmosphere, as the GP gains knowledge and the Consultant has  the opportunity to meet the doctors who send patients to them.  Other practice staff, including GP Registrars, Practice Nurses and medical students are also welcome to attend.   Each attendee receives a Certificate of Participation.

Essentially Medical, who have more than 130 Consultants taking part in this programme, organises free surgery meetings, often through Practice Managers and liaises with the Consultants direct.  If a lunchtime meeting is difficult for the Consultant, then often they are happy to give an early evening presentation, followed by questions and answers.

We are currently providing meetings for the GPs within Haringey Primary Care Trust, Waltham Cross Collaborative groups  and are in negotiations to provide the same service to West Herts PCT too.
