Plans afoot to make the group more accessible

Independent Doctors Federation AGM.

Livestreaming will make future AGMs more accessible for private doctors nationwide. 

President Dr Phil Batty, eager to see the organisation become the ‘go to’ body in the independent sector, commented that it was perceived as a group for those within easy reach of the M25.

He reported an expansion of the ‘excellent staff team’ to improve communications and events, and announced plans were going ahead for IT infrastructure upgrades to improve user experience.

Dr Batty said the IDF was supporting members through education, networking, advocacy and professional development, ensuring their perspectives shape the organisation’s path. 

Members’ well-being and mental health were being prioritised with 24/7 support systems in place and the number of events was being doubled.
