This Contract Changes & Updates in Primary Care web workshop is designed to equip NHS Managers with the knowledge and insight needed to understand and implement the latest contractual updates in General Practice.

With ongoing changes to the GP Contract, including Directed Enhanced Services (DES), it is vital for practice leaders to stay informed to ensure compliance, maximise opportunities, and manage resources effectively. This session will provide clarity on the new requirements, explore the practical implications for service delivery, and support managers in navigating the operational and workforce impact.

At the PMA we pride ourselves on the understanding that one size doesn’t fit all and – therefore, we have various formats of our workshops and can adapt any programme / agenda to suit your local needs and necessaries – so, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
