Practice Manager and business support

Supporting practices with accreditation, recruitment and other business needs

We support practice managers around their business and professional needs in the following ways, recognising that a medical practice needs to be both a successful business and a high quality health service. 

Practice manager network

The practice manager network has been established to provide managers with an opportunity to discuss relevant issues, to network, and share ideas and experiences. Topical issues in general practice will be presented and discussed and managers will be encouraged to work through these areas with their peers in a relaxed environment. Networking events will be held throughout the calendar year and provide an excellent opportunity for practice managers to connect with others working in general practice. 

Online forum

Access to a web-based online forum known as Basecamp, for networking with peers allows practice managers to ask questions or share ideas that can help enhance their role as a practice manager. It is also a great way to expand existing knowledge and skills. Practice managers are encouraged to join this relevant forum.
