We are facing multiple challenges and there is an apparent disconnect between managing your healthcare practice and delivering contracted medical services.

Whilst the ownership of the practice can be separate from the service provision, it is usually the doctors who own and provide medical services. This web workshop covers various property issues which have a direct impact upon the practice.

The web workshop is designed to help practice managers, GPs and GP Partners and facilities develop a full understanding of property management including lease management and notional rent.

Benefits of this course:

  • See how effective property management achieves greater value from your premises
  • Understand the need for property management in your multi-disciplinary expansion plans
  • Learn about current lease management strategies and notional rent
  • Understand how to manage risk assessments in small businesses
  • Helpful weblinks and guidance notes will be provided throughout
  • Interact with the speaker to resolve questions throughout the day
  • Benefit from a post-workshop summary and support

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.
