How should we conclude the Valuing General Practice campaign?

103 days ago prime minister Gordon Brown was recovering from Labour's worst election results for 40 years and London was welcoming new mayor Boris Johnson.

GP also launched its Valuing General Practice campaign.

All good things must come to an end and on Tuesday we begin the mammoth task of collating the material GPs and patients have contributed to the campaign.

So far more than 260 GPs have taken part in the survey, enabling themselves to be entered into a draw for £100 worth of Amazon vouchers. You have six days to participate if you would like to.

Practices with petitions should return them by Tuesday to the Valuing General Practice campaign, GP, 174 Hammersmith Road, Hammersmith, W6 7JP. So far more than 2,000 patients have backed the campaign, explaining in detail why they value general practice.

Bodies including the Liberal Democrats, BMA, RCGP, NHS Alliance, National Association of Primary Care, Family Doctor Association, Dispensing Doctors Association, 2020health.org and Medical Women's Federation have thrown their weight behind the campaign.

But what should we do with the evidence? How should we conclude the Valuing General Practice campaign?
