The PMA introduction to practice management web workshop programme covers all of the key areas that need to be addressed when managing a busy and successful practice. We focus on the issues that regularly arise in medical practice.

The module will be delivered as an interactive virtual session with practical guidance to enable participants to map all the techniques and outcomes onto their own practice. Group work is provided on all aspects of the programme so that participants develop their understanding of the topics by interacting with colleagues from other practices.

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.
